The NSW Government is planning to hand over the state's electricity to big business - taking power out of our hands.
The experience in other states and overseas shows us private ownership leads to:
- higher prices
- less reliable supply
- key service jobs sent offshore
Don't hand over our electricity to big business.
The industry currently delivers billions of dollars in profits to the government to fund hospitals, schools and other public services and employs tens of thousands of workers across the state.
Steps must be taken now to secure NSW's energy future but privatising our power industry is not the way to go.
The State Government should instead upgrade its existing power stations to meet our short-term needs while taking urgent action to promote renewable energy.
