RENEWABLES:
The Greens NSW have a plan to reach 100% renewable energy by 2030 and will allocate $15 million for the establishment of PowerNSW to manage the state’s new clean energy infrastructure and deliver retail energy.
PowerNSW will manage the portfolio of public assets to be created through strategic investments in new renewable energy projects. It will also be responsible for strengthening the NSW power grid and overseeing large-scale energy storage projects.
PowerNSW will operate under a mandate to ensure electricity is delivered to NSW sustainably and reliably, in stark contrast to the gaming and price-gouging practices of big corporate energy companies.
