Alcoa is required to remove from its state agreement the land at its refinery that it has sold to Alinta for construction of its power generating plant.

Alinta is also the named party on the works approval for the cogeneration plant and is liable to ensure that the plant is designed and constructed so as to meet the conditions of the works approval and, during construction of the plant, comply with the general requirements of part V of the Environmental Protection Act. Alcoa, as the operator and licensee under part V of the Environmental Protection Act, is responsible for operating the Wagerup cogeneration plant in a manner that meets the conditions in the operating licence and, more generally, the requirements of part V of the act. (5) Alinta owns the facility; Alcoa operates the facility. (6) Alinta is responsible for ensuring supply of electricity from the facilities into the south west grid.
