FEBRUARY 12, 2021 DAVID CARROLL
At the core of the Western Australian Liberals’ New Energy Jobs Plan is a AUD 9 billion ($6.9 billion) 4.5 GW renewable energy “mega project” encompassing wind and solar energy. The renewable energy would be converted to green hydrogen for export markets.Zak Kirkup, the opposition leader for Western Australia, said that the Liberals would also underwrite the development of a 1.5 GW solar and wind energy project in the state by 2025. The party aims to complete a AUD 500 million transmission line extension from Three Springs to Geraldton, which would result in zero emissions and renewable electricity powering the South West Interconnected System (SWIS). The plan also mentions a 500 MW mega-battery array, which would provide grid security. In addition, Kirkup has promised to “lead by example” and deliver zero emissions from the state government by 2030. This plan is inclusive of the public transport system, state vehicle fleet, and the state-owned electricity network.
