This is my fourth post focusing on the Marinus Whole of State Business Case. It is focused on risk, uncertainty, the need for subsidies and the impact on Tasmanians and the State's finances. ruthforrest.com.au/uncategorise... #marinus #transparency #energy #energytransition #politas #accountability

Will anyone ask Bowen or Duigan exactly where the ‘thousands of jobs’ will be created in Tas with Marinus? Also what happened to Battery of the Nation? Whole rationale for Marinus was to give access to Hydro’s deep storage. Goalposts shifted, it’s now ‘build baby build’. #Marinus
In the Statement of Expectations from Fed, Vic and Tas Govts they say it out loud, ‘Tasmanian and Victorian customers who ultimately pay the project’s transmission costs through their electricity bills’. THROUGH THEIR ELECTRICITY BILLS, for people at back. #Marinus
None of these projects will be built without subsidies because Tas wind has no competitive advantage in NEM. Cheaper to build with behind metre batteries on mainland than to build in Tas and pay cost of transmission #Marinus.
Updated comments on #Marinus including the Final Investment Decision. backroad.com.au/docs/
Total Tas debt by 2030 projected to hit $30B. Breaking that down:
General Government Sector (GGS) $13 billion
GBEs / PNFCs (Hydro, TasNetworks, etc.) $6 billion
Marinus Link + NWTD $9 billion
Unfunded Public Sector Super $2 billion

East Asian-Australasian Flyway is major migratory route for shorebirds stretching from the Arctic through East and SE Asia to Aust and New Zealand. Involves 22 countries and one of 8 recognised major water bird flyways globally. Will Murray Watt approve a windfarm in their path? #RobbinsIs #Marinus
Tas Libs and Min Bowen shifted goal posts so far, they are off the field. #Marinus would bring down Tas power prices was the guarantee. Then, power prices would be less than they otherwise would be. Now, ‘that figure has not been calculated’. They lie and they lie. Power bills will rise. 🧵

Worse still re Basslink was fact that they hedged interest rates and FE exposure off balance sheet such that they were incurring big losses making it too difficult to quit. Are they doing it again? #Marinus @reneweconomy.com.au
Labor even wants to exempt these massive new industrial projects from EPBC just like forests and fish farms. Privatising profit and socialising costs is what both Lib and Lab promote. #Marinus

There is a critical need to understand and be informed of important issue and decisions that need to be made by the Tasmanian Government in coming weeks - this is crucial Marinus and Caretaker Government. #politas #energy #election25 #Marinus #fiscalresponsibility ruthforrest.com.au/electorate-u...
Frankly I am astounded that as toxic and stupid the stadium is, #Marinus #HydrogenHub are at least four times worse, yet no one is calling it out. Billions for a cable and NW Transmission line ought to be under the microscope. This will bankrupt the state and smash social cohesion.
Does Lab want to govern or not? One minute they don’t want an election, next they do. Dean Winter must say if he will govern in minority and what he would do on #Marinus #stadium debacles. Lab could have been in Govt now if they hadn’t stabbed White for uttering ‘minority govt’ on election night.
Eating #Marinus lunch. “This innovative (DC-coupled) configuration allows solar energy generated during the day to be stored in the batteries when energy prices are low, and dispatched in the evening peaks when demand and pricing is high.” Exactly Marinus strategy but MINUS the cost of $5b cable!
