The Minister for Energy has provided the following response: There are two projects in this area of Darlington. The first is part of a network reinforcement program involving the installation a new feeder line, a section of which is underground between the Darlington Zone Substation and Glen Road, where it interconnects with an existing overhead line. The second involves the installation of a dedicated underground power cable from the Darlington Zone Substation to the Water Corporation's Lower Helena Pumping Station. (a) Both cables will operate at 22kV (22,000) volts. (b) The cables are 1.7km and 2.5 km respectively. (c) The purpose of the 1.7km cable, and associated works, is to improve the capacity of the distribution network and improve flexibility in terms of switching options during faults, thereby improving reliability. The second project is to supply an upgrade to the Water Corporation Pumping Station (d) The 1.7km cable is high voltage and therefore does not directly service premises. Houses in the area will still be serviced via the overhead low voltage network, however there will be some benefit in terms of improved capacity and reliability to the area generally. The cable to the Water Corporation Pumping Station services only this facility. (e) The network reinforcement project, which includes switchgear, upgrading the substation, overhead switches as well as the underground cable will cost about $1.1 million. The Water Corporation project will cost about $1.7 million. The customer's contribution will be calculated in accordance with Western Power's capital contribution policy.
