who needs who with the mill, page-20

Hi Jo,

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.

Cheers :)
