The New South Wales Government has made the much anticipated announcement that it will extend the operational life of the Hunter Valley’s Eraring coal-fired power station amid concerns about shortfalls in the energy grid.
Community, business and expert spokespeople available below are calling on all state and federal governments to ensure that this is the last coal clunker to keep polluting beyond its agreed lifespan. They’re urging governments to boost large and small renewables, transmission lines, and energy storage, and support coal workers, to make sure other power stations like Callide B in Queensland and Yallourn in Victoria close on time (2028).
