ENERGY — BATTERY
INSTALLATION — COLLIE
844. Hon Dr STEVE THOMAS to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Energy:
I
refer to public comments by Synergy's senior renewable engineer who
indicated in the Collie River Valley Bulletin of 1 June 2023 that
up to 500 workers might be required for construction of Collie's
proposed big battery, but that once the project is operational ''there
will be a significant workforce reduction'' and was quoted as saying ''this
is a highly autonomous facility''.
(1) How many
permanent full-time jobs will be delivered after the Collie big battery is
finished construction?
(2) How many of those jobs will be
in Collie?
