(a) Western Power has not undertaken a business case for MWEP South 2 and therefore there is no estimated cost.
(b) Consistent with the response to (a), I am not able to provide information regarding the estimated timings of potential projects until the Whole of System Plan has been completed and considered by the Government.
(c) As above.
