Wind farm proponents planning to install turbines in Western Australia can often wait more than two years to get their hands on a crane capable of doing the job.
Mark Beyer and Jack McGinn discuss the major findings from the domestic gas inquiry; Collgar's wind farm plan; Western Power's nuclear stance; Pilbara energy enablers; Perdaman's Karratha plan; the price of iron ore; Nicheliving's woes and Sanur's Subi battle; Vern Wheatley's legacy, and preview the upcoming edition of the Business News magazine.
Western Power chief executive Sam Barbaro has told an energy forum that Collie would be a logical home for a nuclear plant in the state, but says renewables are the priority for the grid.
The operator of WA's largest wind farm aims to build five more across the state, joining multiple companies planning, but not yet building, new wind farms.
Today's board moves include Thomas Scott-Morey, Sam Pearce, Kevin Dundo, Winnie Lai Hadad, Nicky Martin, Michelle Kennedy, Kelly Moore, Blair Way, John Drapack, and Cathryn Moffett.
