AnswerView source ↗
On behalf of the Minister for Housing and Works, I thank the Leader of the Opposition for some notice of this question. I am advised in the following terms - (1) Yes. (2) (a) The dates at which commercial operations are due to begin in the respective towns are: Broome, November 2006; Fitzroy Crossing, March 2007; Halls Creek, April 2007; Looma, December 2006; and Derby, January 2007. (b) Extensions of time were sought by EDL because of delays in access to critical construction materials, such as stainless steel, due to the strong global demand for such materials, and also in securing appropriate land and obtaining the necessary permits for the new facilities. Other conditions precedent to the west Kimberley power purchase agreement are concluding financial arrangements for the project. Western Power is advised that negotiations with the selected banking consortium are progressing satisfactorily. (3) Western Power considered very carefully all the risks associated with extending the commissioning dates. It was satisfied that EDL had valid reasons for seeking an extension, and felt that it was in the best interests of Western Power and its customers to grant the extension. (4) The contract entered into between Western Power and EDL contained a number of preconditions that would need to be met, including securing land approvals and finance. Western Power selected EDL as the preferred bidder after conducting a rigorous evaluation process, including assessments from independent experts, that was overseen by an independent probity auditor. It is satisfied that EDL can meet the assurances it gave on delivering new power stations to the West Kimberley. (5) EDL has demonstrated that it can deliver, as it is a successful Australian company that has been operating in Australia and internationally for many years. Western Power conducted a thorough assessment of EDL’s competency as part of the evaluation process and is satisfied with its capacity to perform.
