NSW Labor has run the electricity infrastructure roadmap into the ground, and it’s now a shambles. This has led to excessive, crippling price increases for households and businesses, infrastructure bottlenecks and serious challenges for regional communities. Not only is NSW Labor not on track to achieve Net Zero by 2050 or the interim targets, but they’ve also lost sight of the importance of affordability, reliability, and social licence.
Households across NSW are struggling. Cost of living is through the roof, housing is more unaffordable than ever, trains are late, and hospitals are overwhelmed. Issues like these are the focus of the NSW Liberals.
The NSW Liberals remain committed to a target of Net Zero by 2050. It’s been our target since 2016. It’s a target to be achieved alongside a focus on energy reliability, affordability, and industrial competitiveness.
Labor needs to come clean on why the electricity roadmap has run off the rails, how they’ll fix it, when they’ll approve gas and for how long the Eraring Power Station will stay open.
As we head toward 2027, in consultation with our NSW Nationals colleagues, we’ll deliver a responsible, modern energy and climate plan for NSW that keeps the lights on, puts downward pressure on bills, protects jobs, respects regional communities, and lowers emissions.
