QuestionView source ↗
With reference to the Minister for Energy’s statement that the new coal fired generators approved by this government are significantly more efficient than many of the ageing generators connected to the network, I ask:
(a) what is the carbon dioxide equivalent emission intensity of the existing generators connected to the network; and
(b) what will be the emission intensity of the new coal fired generators Coolimba, Bluewaters and Muja A/B?

(a)Verve Energy - Carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) emission intensity at maximum continuous rated output:
Collie: 0.90 tonnes CO2e per megawatt hour of electricity sent out from the power station (tCO2e/MWh(SO))
Muja C: 1.00 tCO2e.MWh(SO)
Muja D: 0.96 tCO2e.MWh(SO)
Kwinana: 0.88 tCO2e.MWh(SO)
Pinjar and Mungarra: 0.65 tCO2e.MWh(SO)
(b) Verve Energy - Muja A/B: 1.30 tCO2e.MWh(SO)
(Coolimba and Bluewaters are not Verve Energy generators).
