In 2010 the ERA received an application from Western Power to determine that forecast new facilities investment proposed by Western Power, for transmission works to supply electricity to the Binningup Desalination Plant, meets the new facilities investment test.
In 2011 the ERA pre-approved investment of $29.2 million for Western Power to install a second 330/132 kV transformer and construction of a 132 kV switchyard at Kemerton Terminal and construction of a 10 km 132 kV transmission line to connect the Water Corporation’s second desalination plant in Binningup.
