Delaying the scheduled closure of Eraring Power Station and other coal-fired generators could add thousands of dollars to consumer bills and set back the rollout of clean energy generation and storage infrastructure, a new report has found.
The Nexa Advisory report, Eraring can be closed on schedule, found that delaying the closure of the 2800 megawatt plant (scheduled to close in 2025) and the nearby Vales Point power station (scheduled to close in 2029) could add up to $6,000 to consumer bills over the next two decades.
