Labor MP Andrew Charlton says the extension of Eraring coal-fired power station “doesn’t change” the New South Wales government’s commitment to 82 per cent renewable energy.
The NSW government says extending the lifespan of the state’s largest coal power station to 2027 will ensure an orderly exit from coal-fired power to ensure the lights stay on for homes.
“It doesn’t change the broader action that they have made on climate change which has been a sweeping range of measures that I think have left many people impressed,” Mr Charlton said.
“It is getting the balance right between making sure the transition is smooth and we move to a clean energy future but not jeopardising security or affordability.”

Labor's net zero energy policy is net zero energy, import everything! I love you ALP
If according to this liar we can’t even build the nuclear stations in 15 years,
Why would you not start building them immediately? Instead of relying on renewables when they actually aren’t a viable alternative?
Labor is pandering to the greens here and know they are hypocrites.
Notice Australia is the only G20 country not on a path to nuclear? Notice we also have ridiculously high energy prices that just keep rising compared to other nations? Not a coincidence.
The Liberals also have a net zero target. Vote one nation first. Coalition second. To save the energy sector and lower energy bills.
What a muppet, this mfer is only setting himself up for being a lefty politician for life
He doesnt care about anyone
SA is screwed when it closes. Due to labor closing, the majority of our major power plants in this state. Since we now have to import a large portion of our power from Victoria and NSW.
Charlton is like Bowen, out with the fairies, SA is evidence, renewables do not work
No matter what Australia does, it wont make one bit of difference to the climate. All going to 'green' renewable is doing, is keeping the rice Panda happy.
Labor's net zero policy is causing the cost of living to skyrocket.
Nuclear power brings down electricity prices by 75% in Finland.
If we disagree with an institution we must do something about it. The UN is no longer a functioning organisation. It is a left wing propaganda machine.
There will be a new Government by then.
I guarantee you Eraring will remain operational for many years past 2027
lol at Labor
Earing Power Station has a capacity of 2880MW per hour . Now times that by 24 and you understand the real capacity it brings to the grid. 69120 MW hours . There is no physical way you can generate that amount with solar or wind 365 days a year whatsoever. Andrew Charlton you sir are as inept as your leader Albo the weak.
What about a long term view, nuclear will still be running 100 years from now, when renewables will have to be replaced 3 or 4 times.
To achieve a zero emissions society we will have to reduce our living standards, no politician will be honest about that
