❓ Ms. Brewer questions Western Power on their new approach to reduce energisation time for land development projects. The response outlines proactive scheduling and a target timeframe of six weeks, claiming energisation is already occurring within that timeframe.

I refer to the Western Power Annual Report 2025 significant achievements for the year including "Introducing a new approach to reduce the time to energise land development projects from 16 to six weeks.", and I ask:(a) What is this new approach;(b) What is changing under this new approach;(c) As at the date of this question, how long is it taking to energise land development projects; and(d) When is it expected Western Power will be energising land development projects in six weeks?

(a – d) Western Power uses a proactive scheduling process that aligns developer construction timelines with its own resources, including early nomination of completion dates, progress checks, and timely submission of required information. Once confirmed, energisation is scheduled with a target timeframe of six weeks from receipt of final construction documentation from a developer. Western Power continues to improve its energisation timeframes, with energisation taking as little as six weeks.
