Electricity Generation

Mr VAN HOLST PELLEKAAN (Stuart) (14:35): A supplementary: what is the cost of installing and leasing the generators and will APR own them through the entire leasing period?

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Treasurer, Minister for Finance, Minister for State Development, Minister for Mineral Resources and Energy) (14:36): We won't be releasing the details of the cost of the lease. Obviously, there are commercial considerations in place because the people we have leased these from are entering into other commercial contracts with other operators around the world, but I can inform the people of South Australia that it's within our budget. It's within our budget framework, and we are keeping within our budget. They will be delivered on time and on budget.

The SPEAKER: A supplementary, member for Stuart.
