      Hello, is there any data on how much diesel is used per year on Saibai in total? Including power generation. Am looking at biofuels and am wondering how much is needed to replace current amounts.
      Also with the $3.70AUD per litre of diesel set price at the bowser, is that price the same for power generation?
      Thanks, Henry

        Hi Henry,

        Unfortunately, there’s no published data on the annual total diesel usage in Saibai. However, there was a mention of 15 megaliters used annually by Torres Strait region’s 17 power stations in TSRA’s website.

        Kindly refer to these existing discussion on:
        > energy consumption
        > current diesel refuelling practice at Saibai

        This resource might also help you in estimating the electricity demand: Forecasting Approach – Electricity Demand Forecasting Methodology

        I hope this helps!

        Regards,
        Jean
