My question to the minister for Local Government and Regional Development representing the Minister for Energy is in four parts. Hon Ljiljanna Ravlich: You always do this. I am not the minister representing the Minister for Energy. The PRESIDENT: Order! I am sure that the person to whom I will give the call is the person who has the answer. Hon ROBIN CHAPPLE: I do apologise to the minister representing, whomever that might be. The PRESIDENT: Order! If Hon Robin Chapple apologises at any great length, Hon Dee Margetts will not get her question up. Hon ROBIN CHAPPLE: I refer to the purchase of renewable energy certificates by Western Power. (1) Does the minister support the principle that renewable energy certificates should be sourced in Western Australia to support the Western Australian renewable energy industry? (2) If not, why not? (3) Will the minister provide information on the number of RECs purchased by Western Power for solar hot water systems in the eastern States for each of the past three financial years? (4) Will the minister explain why Western Power is spending taxpayers’ money on such a high proportion of eastern States’ RECs while local community-owned wind farms such as Coronation Hill are unable to gain market entry? Hon NICK GRIFFITHS

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question given to the Minister for Local Government and Regional Development. I also note the time and the relevant length of the answer. I want to listen to Hon Dee Margetts ask a question; therefore, I seek the leave of the House to have the answer incorporated in Hansard . Leave granted. The following material was incorporated - (1) Yes (2) Not applicable (3) 2001 - 0 2002 - 0 2003 - 47,617 } sourced from solar hot water systems manufactured in WA 2004 - 66,406 (to date) } RECs are sourced currently from sites in WA including the Albany wind farm and RECs from solar hot water systems which are manufactured in WA. Solar hot water systems made in WA can be sold and installed anywhere in Australia and qualify for RECs. Purchasers of solar hot water systems can assign the RECs to any third party including Western Power. (4) Western Power is supporting the local manufacturers of solar hot water systems by buying the RECs flowing from the sale and installation of their units in Australia. Western Power is conducting two public REC procurement processes, providing opportunities for local renewable energy projects to supply annually up to 90,000 RECs and 100,000 RECs respectively. Preferred bidders for RECs 1 were announced in March this year and nominated two projects - a windfarm at Cervantes and a biomass project at south Mandurah. The second procurement process RECs 2, is scheduled to close on 20 December 2004. The Coronation wind farm proposal has had the opportunity to participate in both processes.

Preferred bidders for RECs 1 were announced in March this year and nominated two projects - a windfarm at Cervantes and a biomass project at south Mandurah. The second procurement process RECs 2, is scheduled to close on 20 December 2004. The Coronation wind farm proposal has had the opportunity to participate in both processes.
