PRESS RELEASE
One year on from the closure of the Port Augusta coal stations Repower Port Augusta and the Australian Services Union SA/NT have expressed solidarity with former power station workers and are calling on the Weatherill Government to bring a new future to Port Augusta by using its power purchase to support building a new solar thermal plant with storage.
“The lives of all of us changed this time last year. Now, our community is looking to the future and with the Premier’s support we can become a clean energy powerhouse for SA” Mr Rowbottom said.
“Nationally, we want to see a plan that supports workers with a just transition as Australia acts on climate change. There’s no doubt we need to act but workers deserve to be treated with respect along the way” Mr Scales said.
