The NSW Opposition wants reliable and affordable energy for households and businesses across our state.
Today\u2019s \u2018deal\u2019 does not guarantee energy reliability or more affordable electricity for households and businesses.
The need now to extend the Eraring coal power station is due to Labor\u2019s neglect and mismanagement of the Electricity Infrastructure Roadmap, which will cost the NSW taxpayer up to $450 million over the coming years and doesn\u2019t even guarantee a solution to forecasted reliability risks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Minns Labor Government has created uncertainty for would-be investors in new capacity and now the people of NSW face more expensive and less reliable energy.

Over a year ago the Minns Labor Government called for a review of the Roadmap and they have been plagued by inaction ever since. They haven\u2019t finalised planning guidelines and, as a result, the energy industry and consumers have been left in limbo.

An update from the Australian Energy Market Operator (AEMO) earlier this week highlighted the risks to reliability from Labor\u2019s failed approach to energy, including delays in delivering transmission infrastructure and battery storage projects such as the Orana battery and the Waratah Super Battery.

Responsibility sits with Premier Chris Minns and he should apologise for his Government\u2019s mismanagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No mention was made of the costs of energy being driven up by privitisation by liberal governments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
