NSW Treasurer and Energy Minister Matt Kean has been questioned about the state’s response to the energy crisis by Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell.
When asked what the state government is doing about power prices, Mr Kean said, “we are speaking to the energy companies to turn the coal-fired power stations back on”.
“If we’re putting more coal into the system at the moment and relying less on gas, that will bring downward pressure on prices,” Mr Kean told Sky News Australia.
Mr Kean also said the state government is “supporting people will their bills” following the announcement of a “number of measures to provide rebates or financial assistance during this period”.
