QuestionView source ↗

I refer to the Minister's media comments reported in
The West Australian
dated 11 April 2013 stating that the real question is what kind of market structure and incentives, three, four or five years down the track will there be to encourage providers not only to build and sell power to Synergy, but to take more of the market risk, and I ask:
(a) what kind of market structure and incentives will be in place at 1 July 2014 to encourage private investors not only to build and sell to Synergy, but to take more of the market risk;
(b) if yes to (a) are these market structures and incentives contained in a set of published rules or other document, and if so, are these set of published rules available to the community, including investors, and where are they available; and
(c) if yes to (a) what is the name of these rules or other document, who is their author and what is their date?
