Excess power stations face closure to bring electricity prices under control: WA Energy Minister Mike Nahan

More of Synergy's power stations will have to close if the West Australian Government is to bring power prices under control, Energy Minister Mike Nahan says.
There is currently too much capacity sitting idle in the market and it is costing taxpayers dearly.
Dr Nahan said several factors had driven the oversupply.
"Given the excess capacity on a good day - 42 per cent - and also the growth of solar ... and declining demand, we have excess capacity", Dr Nahan said.
The rapid uptake of rooftop solar panels took the Government by surprise, but it has become so popular, Dr Nahan now expects it will completely take over daytime power generation in WA.
"Small-scale solar is growing at 20, 30 per cent a year and will do nothing but accentuate and it is actually quite cheap," he said.
