The NSW government is currently in talks with Origin about paying huge public subsidies to keep the Eraring coal-fired power station open beyond the planned closure date of 2025.
Join us to demand not a cent of public money is given to these coal-fired profits. Public funds are urgently needed to accelerate the roll-out of renewable energy and provide job security into the future for workers and communities currently dependent on fossil fuels.
We start our rally at 9am at NSW Parliament then will march down to the Origin AGM (176 Cumberland St The Rocks) to call on the NSW Government and Origin to ensure Eraring does not stay open for a single day longer than planned.
Eraring’s annual emissions equal those of all passenger vehicles on NSW roads. The planned closure of Eraring in 2025 plays a crucial role in the NSW government’s own emissions reduction plans and must proceed.
For NSW workers, families, and our climate, we cannot afford to prop Eraring up beyond 2025.

Research by Nexa Advisory shows that keeping Eraring open would be a big step in the wrong direction.
