As we transition to 100% renewable energy, we must learn from the past mistakes of privatisation and ensure our energy assets are kept in public hands. 

Electricity is an essential service. But Labor and Liberal governments have sold off NSW’s energy assets and infrastructure, leaving us at the mercy of the private sector for our energy needs. 

The result has been soaring energy bills, with more and more people being forced into energy poverty. It’s time to take the power back. We must act now to phase out fossil fuels, establish a publicly-owned energy retailer and deliver the social and economic benefits of decarbonisation to communities not corporations.
