I know where they are and have been on tours at both. That being said, it was quite a while ago, yet even then the touring people indicated at both places that in the ensuing years it is hope that they will provide not only water but power to Perth and at least Wollongong.
It was believed during those times that science and technology would provide to make that possible.
Bit like the Collins Class submarines that I worked on actually.

The Ord is never going to provide power to Perth. The transmission losses, combined with the cost of building the transmission line, will never make it workable. I can see the Ord providing power for the mines in the Hammersleys, and the refineries at Dampier. For all I know it probably already does. It's never going all the way to Perth.
