The news Hydro Tasmania is unable to keep up with their maintenance schedule is an indictment on the Hodgman Government.
Tasmanians have serious reservations about Hydro's self-assessment of the impact of cloud seeding activities on the severe June flooding.
The record winter floods took the lives of three Tasmanians. It destroyed homes, paddocks, fences and roads and had a devastating impact on rural communities.
Minister Groom's response to Mr Mostogl's criticism of both the Minister's performance and Hydro's was to accuse him of acting out of corporate self-interest.
The Minister for Energy needs to step in and reassure the community that cloud seeding activities in Tasmania are being conducted safely as well as efficiently.
Hydro storages have increased for the first time since the Basslink cable broke.
Tasmanians are angry that Basslink became the vehicle for running our dams down to record lows and into crisis.
The gas which should have been used to fire up Tamar Valley to protect storages was being sold on the mainland while Hydro was frantically exporting.
The Treasurer has told Parliament that Hydro Tasmania will not be expected to return a dividend to government for the next three years.
Hydro’s dam levels are down to 12.8% and Minister Groom is nowhere near meeting the targets set out in his Energy Supply Plan.
