Development Stage 2 in 1983, the only other cost effective alternative to provide power for Tasmania at the time was a coal fired power station. Subsequently, due to changed economic and political factors such as renewable energy credits, wind power and the Basslink undersea cable have become much more cost-effective than they were in 1983. The Australian Government is currently providing a major boost to renewable energy as a key part of its overall strategy for reducing Australia's greenhouse gas emissions. The Government passed the Renewable Energy (Electricity) Act 2000 which requires the generation of 9,500 gigawatt hours of extra renewable electricity per year by 2010. By building the King Scheme the government of the day anticipated by 20 years the push for increasing renewable energy sources and moving away from power sources that produced greenhouse gases. 2. Decision-making Process The broad outline of the political background to the development of the King River Scheme is given in Section 3 of this document. In summary, Hydro Tasmania was required to put a proposal to the Tasmanian Parliament. The initial scheme put forward was that of the Gordon River Power Development – Stage 2. This was stopped by the National Government of the day and Hydro Tasmania put forward the less controversial King River Scheme, which gained the approval of both Houses of the Tasmanian Government as well as that of the wider Tasmanian community. At the time, there was no regulatory requirement to have an environmental assessment in place for such developments. However, studies had been conducted on the catchment and there was an awareness of the potential problems that may occur due to high levels of heavy metals (see Supporting Documentation – 12. – reference list of reports and publications). Decision-making is now carried out in a more formalised framework. Hydro Tasmania has striven to develop and maintain a credible and efficient environmental management culture as demonstrated by development of an EMS, certification to ISO 14001 and a well resourced Environmental Services department. This has been effected before any legislative necessity to do so. The catalyst for this was the development of the King River scheme which was the first hydro-power scheme built in Australia to have a formal Environmental Management Plan. 3. Comparison of Hydropower Project Alternatives All reasonable alternatives to further hydro power development were presented and assessed in the Report to Parliament on the Gordon River Power Development Stage 2 proposal. The main alternative of thermal power generation using coal was not seen as environmentally friendly or economical and other alternatives such as wind power and an undersea cable were too costly (see also newspaper clippings from 1983 in Supplementary Documentation). When the Gordon River Power Development Stage 2 scheme was stopped through Commonwealth Government intervention, an acceptable alternative was presented at short notice. Two non- controversial hydro schemes were proposed and approved as appropriate to meet future energy demand. Visual amenity was of high priority given the proximity of the World Heritage Area and this was taken into account from the design stage and the Environmental Management Plan was strenuously adhered to throughout the project. With the introduction of wind energy in Tasmania, the King River Power Development will be able to realise additional benefits.
