Answered on 12/02/2003
The cost to the Power and Water Corporation of generating electricity throughout the Northern Territory was $188.8 million in 2001/2002 and a projected cost of $186.2 million in 2002/2003. The fall in cost of $2.6 million was attributable to a marginally lower level of production and to the use of more efficient gene ration facilities in Alice Springs.
