(a) The Clean Energy Future Package incorporates a number of pre-existing and new Commonwealth Government funding commitments across a range of industry and agricultural sectors, including those relating to the energy portfolio.
The State Government is participating in a number of inter-jurisdictional forums and consultation processes associated with the development of programs and guidelines for administration of the funding commitments under the Clean Energy Package. This participation is aimed at ensuring that such guidelines do not preclude participation by projects based in Western Australia. Forums and consultation processes associated with the energy portfolio include the:
· Australian Centre for Renewable Energy State and Territory Network;
· Energy Sector Transition Committee; and
· Clean Technology Programs - the Western Australian Government has provided a submission on the Clean Technology Programs Discussion Paper (September 2011).
(b)-(c) Funding applications made in respect of the above programs are submitted by individual project proponents rather than the State Government.
