I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. (1) Synergy launched its advanced metering proof of concept study on 14 June 2009. The study involved an investigation into a behavioural trial of advanced metering solutions as a means of helping customers manage their electricity consumption habits. (2) Synergy’s board made the decision to discontinue its proof of concept study into advanced metering to roll its investment into the Perth Solar City program. (3) The decision was made on 26 October 2009. (4) Seven hundred and fifty. (5) These customers were selected according to the selection criteria set by Synergy involving various demographics and usage profiles. Field trial participants were selected from the suburbs of Thornlie, Canning Vale, Ballajura and Ellenbrook. (6) Synergy had budgeted $2 million for this trial. Synergy’s expenditure to date is $4 583 909.03 due to expansion in project scope and costs. The work Synergy has done has provided valuable groundwork, which Synergy intends to roll into the Perth Solar City program. Synergy is confident this investment will ultimately contribute to providing customers with better tools and information to reduce their energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions. (7) The value of the gift cards purchased to honour Synergy’s commitment to participants of the field trial was determined by the terms and conditions agreed to by the participants. The gift cards were purchased from Coles Myer.
