Kwinana Coal Burning EIP
Verve Energy had planned to stop using coal at KPS this year, however due to ongoing uncertainty about gas supply, the company now intends to continue burning coal for some years to come.
There is no requirement in WA for companies to produce an EIP and Verve Energy and KPS are proud to be one of the first big businesses in the Kwinana area to produce one.
The EIP focuses on environmental issues identified during community consultation in the development phase of the EIP as requiring priority attention.
That's the great thing about our EIP - it has been prepared through consultation with community representatives, the DEC and our people at KPS. By involving all three interested parties we have produced a mutually agreed plan on how KPS can improve its environmental performance in relation to burning coal.
The EIP also provides detailed information on existing activities and planned initiatives in areas ranging from water conservation and waste management through to air quality, noise, energy efficiency and rehabilitation. And all this helps give the local community a much better understanding of our activities and provides an effective tool for people to measure our progress in meeting the targets we set.
