NSW is anti-privatisation, not anti-private sector: energy minister

The Minns government’s anti-privatisation agenda should not be confused with an aversion to working with business, NSW Energy Minister Penny Sharpe will say in a major call to arms to the private sector to step up investment in the state’s energy transition.

As the NSW Labor government chases a target of producing 12 gigawatts of renewable energy by 2030, Ms Sharpe will use a keynote address at The Australian Financial Review ESG Summit to urge businesses to participate in building new energy generation and transmission infrastructure.
