The NSW government will require the majority of mining companies to reserve up to 10 per cent of their thermal coal output in the state for the domestic market. The domestic coal reservation policy is expected to be implemented by the end of January. The government had previously only required some thermal coal miners to reserve part of their output for the state’s power stations, but this prompted complaints that it placed an unfair burden on a small number of ­producers. Coal-fired power stations generate about 60 per cent of the state’s electricity supply.
