Sure; try the following extract from the mill website link ( http://www.gunnspulpmill.com.au/factsheets/The_Facts.pdf ) "Water Usage and Power Generation • The Bell Bay Pulp Mill will use up to 26 gigalitres (GL) of water annually – this represents approximately one per cent of the flows into Lake Trevallyn. • The water usage will have no impact on the environmental water flows through the Cataract Gorge. These are absolutely protected. • The Pulp Mill water off-take will be taken from water that would otherwise have flowed through the Trevallyn Power Station. The volumes that will continue to flow through the power station would be enough to supply the public water requirements for a city twice the size of Melbourne. • The Pulp Mill off-take water volume would generate 0.86 megawatts (MW) at the Trevallyn Power Station. In contrast the mill, when built, will generate more than 180 MW, 90 MW to be used on site and 90 MW to be supplied into the Tasmanian electricity grid. • To put the surplus power generation into perspective: - The Trevallyn power station generates an average of 52 MW. - All industry and domestic power demand in the greater Launceston area (defined by the 7248, 7249 and 7250 post codes) averages 76 MW. THE PULP MILL WILL SUPPLY MORE THAN ENOUGH POWER FOR THE WHOLE OF LAUNCESTON." End of quote.
Only one of the many positives. Marketing for this venture has not been a strong point.
