SOUTH WEST
INTERCONNECTED SYSTEM AND NORTH WEST INTERCONNECTED SYSTEM
1219. Hon Dr BRAD PETTITT to the parliamentary secretary
representing the Minister for Energy:
I refer to the media statement from
29 August 2023 titled ''$3 billion Rewiring the Nation deal to power WA
jobs and growth'', which states —
The
Albanese Government will provide up to $3 billion through concessional loans
and equity investments to WA through the Clean Energy Finance
Corporation (CEFC) to new builds and major upgrades to transmission in the
state's major electricity grids—the South West Interconnected
System (SWIS) and the North West Interconnected System (NWIS).
What percentage of this $3 billion
public funding is planned for the SWIS and NWIS respectively?
