Have any experts been consulted about the energy prices? Energy and Resources Minister Megan Woods What did she say about energy prices? The project could create thousands of jobs, make wholesale electricity cheaper in the long run, and it would decarbonise the grid as we wouldn't have to rely on coal and gas to make electricity Did the report by the ICCC committee consider pumped hydro in its projections? No It was based on overbuilding renewable generation and battery storage What is the risk with traditional Hydro generation? That there will be not enough rain which will cut generation and increase prices. How would the pumped hydro project at Lake Onslow prevent this? It would eliminate the risk premium in electricity prices that can drive up 'spot' prices for wholesale electricity in dry years to an unlimited extent;
