Eraring could stay in operation beyond its current retirement date of 2025 after a NSW government review found it may be needed during the energy transition.

in NSW could stay open beyond an original plan to shut it down by 2025, after a Minns government review recommended extending the giant coal-fired generator’s operating life to shore up reliability during the energy transition.

According to the report, the review found the state might need to rely on traditional power sources, including coal and gas, to avoid energy shortfalls as the state transitions to more renewable sources of power. The review, known as the Electricity Supply and Reliability Check-Up, commissioned by the government, was completed by former Energy Retailers Association chief executive Cameron O’Reilly, who is also a former federal Labor staffer and senior energy department executive.
