MEDIA RELEASE

STATEMENT ON ERARING POWER STATION REMAINING OPEN

The announcement by the NSW Government this morning that they have secured an agreement with Origin to keep Eraring Power Station is good news for our energy security.

We’ve always said that Eraring shouldn’t be open a day later or a day earlier than needed for reliability.

I look forward to continued negotiations to make sure that jobs of the 1000 workers at Myuna and Mandalong Collieries are secured as well.
