Across the state, we’ve heard from families and businesses struggling with rising power bills.
For 12 years, our electricity network has been sold off to the highest bidder without adequate investment in renewable energy. This has left NSW more exposed to the impact of global affairs on energy supply.
The results speak for themselves – record high energy prices, and an energy system on the brink of disaster.
Labor’s Fresh Start Plan will stop any further privatisation of our energy assets.
We will create the NSW Energy Security Corporation, a state-owned body that will accelerate investment in renewable energy assets to deliver cleaner and more reliable energy and help keep the lights on.
We will legislate NSW’s carbon emissions reduction targets, including net zero by 2050 and a 50% reduction on 2005 carbon emissions levels by 2030. And we will establish a Net Zero Commission to monitor and review our progress, its impacts on jobs and industry, as well as energy prices.
