Hydrogen Power Plant

Mr PATTERSON (Morphett) (15:01): My question is to the Minister for Energy and Mining. Can the minister confirm when the $600 million hydrogen plant will be operational? With your leave, sir, and that of the house, I will explain.

Leave granted.

Mr PATTERSON: The recent update to the Electricity Statement of Opportunities from AEMO has indicated that the generators at Labor's $600 million hydrogen plant are not expected until the summer of 2026-27.

The Hon. A. KOUTSANTONIS (West Torrens—Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, Minister for Energy and Mining) (15:02): The last time I checked, the advice I received from the agency was that the generators will be available by the summer of 2025-26, as we have estimated. I have not received anything else otherwise. If the member has something he can illuminate the house with, I would like to see it.
