The State Government has suspended all work on the bungled Muja power station project.

Labor says the government has spent about $250 million dollars trying to refurbish two of the facility’s four generators.

The project stalled last year after serious corrosion was discovered in the station’s pipes, following a boiler explosion.

The Premier Colin Barnett has told Parliament no further work will be done on the generators for the time being.

“The government has made a decision with respect to Muja A and B units; three and four continue to operate, units 1 and 2 are basically mothballed,” he said.

“For how long is yet to be determined, we are seeking further information about that.”
