Unions NSW has developed a plan to meet our power needs by upgrading existing power stations while moving urgently on renewable energy sources.
The solution lies in upgrading our existing power stations now so they can generate more power than they currently do.
Meanwhile, the government can encourage renewable energy providers to feed power into the grid, to reduce our long-term reliance on coal power.
The NSW Government can meet our power needs by upgrading our existing power stations such as Mount Piper and Bayswater.
When these power stations were first designed they were intended to produce double the electricity they do now. However, because electricity demand did not grow as fast as expected they were never fully completed.
Upgrading Mount Piper and Bayswater power stations could be done faster than building new ones and would mean that more money could be put to encouraging renewable energies.
Selling-off our power is not the solution to NSW’s future energy needs. The evidence shows that all it leads to is less reliable service and high prices.
The NSW Government needs to make better use of what we already have while investing in a green cleaner energy future.
