The Minister for Energy has provided the following response: (1) The figures provided below are for distribution poles and lines only. (a) During February 2007, Western Power spent $5.8 million extending the distribution network. This figure includes the installation of new power poles as well as underground cables and equipment. At this stage it is not possible to break the figure up into metropolitan and non-metropolitan areas, or to differentiate between overhead and underground work, as some projects include a component of both. (b) See (a). (c) Western Power spent $745,201 replacing old power poles in the metropolitan region during February 2007. (d) Western Power spent $1,287,223 replacing old power poles in the non-metropolitan region during February 2007. (e) Western Power spent $1,739,315 on the maintenance of power poles and power lines in the metropolitan region during February 2007. (f) Western Power spent $2,214,413 on the maintenance of power poles and power lines in the non-metropolitan region during February 2007. (2) (a) Western Power spent $900,000 on underground conversions in the metropolitan area under the Underground Power Program during February 2007. (The total budget, including contributions from councils and ratepayers was $1.6m). In addition to this, new underground equipment was installed as part of network capacity improvements (see response to 1a), and for new subdivision work (see response to 4). (b) New underground equipment was installed in non-metropolitan areas as part of network capacity improvements (see response to 1a) and for new subdivision work (see response to 4). Many projects include both overhead and underground components so it is not possible to break expenditure into overhead and underground. (3) (a) A series of major weather events and summer fires damaged Western Power equipment in February. The Dwellingup fires burnt down more than 100 power poles on the main line connecting power to Dwellingup. Separate fires in the Mandurah region on February 5 damaged transmission lines and caused power interruptions to 56,000 properties. In addition a widespread lightning storm on February 26 caused power outages in metropolitan and regional areas affecting 23,000 people. In relation to the total number of power interruptions, there were 672 outages in the metropolitan area during February 2007. These outages may have lasted less than a minute, or more than two hours and affected just a few customers or several hundred. On average, each outage affected 365 customers. Each customer in the metropolitan area experienced 0.36 outages. (b) There were 576 outages in the non-metropolitan regions of the SWIS during February 2007. Each outage affected on average 202 customers. Each customer in the non-metropolitan areas of the SWIS experienced 0.67 outages. (4) During February 2007, Western Power issued quotes with a total value of $8,829,204 to developers for electrical infrastructure to be installed in new subdivisions. (5) Western Power (Networks) : Western Power spent $683.44. The payment was to Media Decisions for the placement of advertisements alerting customers about safety preparations for the weather event dubbed 'the perfect storm'.
