Media Alert – Eraring extension welcome, call for certainty for Myuna workers

Mining and Energy Union < 1 mins read

WHEN:
1:00pm, today

WHERE:
Eraring Power Station – Main Car Park
Lake Macquarie, NSW

WHO:
Robin Williams
President, MEU Northern Mining & NSW Energy District

DETAILS:
Following Origin Energy’s announcement that Eraring Power Station will remain open until 2029, the Mining and Energy Union will speak on the importance of extending certainty beyond the power station gate.

While the extension delivers welcome job security for Eraring workers, the MEU will call on Origin to urgently secure a long-term coal supply contract with neighbouring Myuna Colliery, which exists solely to supply the power station.

The union says a fair and orderly energy transition must include workers across the full supply chain.
