With a view to calculating Western Power’s liability under the mandatory renewable energy target liability, will the minister please provide the following information - (1) The installed capacity of Western Power’s grid, excluding stand-by or emergency plant and privately owned grid, connected to domestic users for the 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 calendar years. (2) The amount of liable electricity purchases for Western Power in the calendar years 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 in megawatt hours. (3) The renewable power percentage calculated for Western Power for the calendar years 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. (4) The total number of renewable energy certificates that Western Power needed to surrender in order to discharge its renewable energy liability for the calendar years 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. (5) The total number of renewable energy certificates offered for surrender against Western Power’s liability in the calendar years 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004. (6) Western Power’s annual energy acquisition statement for the calendar years 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004 submitted to the Renewable Energy Regulator each year by 14 February advising the regulator of the total electricity purchased as relevant acquisitions in the year and the renewable energy certificates that were offered for surrender against the corporation’ liability. I am aware that the figures for 2004 may not have been finalised but I request that an indicative figure be provided in each case. Hon NICK GRIFFITHS
