Energy Insiders Podcast: Matt Kean and the NSW energy transition

NSW energy minister Matt Kean joins the Energy Insiders podcast again to explain why the state is fast-tracking plans to transition from coal to renewables, and the details of his new transition plan.

The plan was won applause from most side of politics, with the exception of One Nation, as well as the support of the clean energy industry.

Plus, we discuss Australia’s newest biggest battery, and very big green hydrogen plans.
