Premier Chris Minns made a stunning admission when announcing he would keep the Eraring coal-fired power station open but the people of NSW hd no idea doomsday was so close.
Premier Chris Minns made a stunning admission when announcing he would save Eraring, Australia’s largest coal-fired power station, by extending its operating life until August 2027.
Under the two-year reprieve, Eraring must generate enough power to resolve the forecast reliability gap and maintain the power station’s current 220 workforce and adhere to licence conditions, which include environmental protections.Eraring was sold to Origin by the Coalition after the previous Labor government privatised NSW’s power assets, and the prospect of using taxpayers’ money to extend the power station’s life now comes with a potentially large political cost.
