Origin Energy has agreed to extend the operating life of its Eraring coal-fired power station for another two years. The ageing plant was initially slated to close in 2025, but Origin struck a deal with the NSW government to keep Eraring operating until 2027. CEO Frank Calabria says the decision to further extend Eraring’s operational life until 2029 will allow for more time to develop renewable energy infrastructure. However, the decision has been criticised by environmental groups such as the Nature Conservation Council of NSW.
