Tasmania poised to push through energy reform
The Tasmanian Government has won support from all political parties for its package of energy reforms, with State Minister for Energy and resources, Bryan green, saying the Government is posed to deliver the lowest possible power prices for Tasmanians.
"We now have support from all political parties for key elements of the Government's plan and I look forward to the passage of legislation through the Parliament," Mr Green said.
"I am satisfied the Parliament will make decisions that provide the best outcomes for all Tasmanians."
"The Greens' and the Liberals' endorse the need to restructure the industry to maximise opportunities and keep downward pressure on electricity prices."
Mr Green reiterated the State Government’s commitment to keep Hydro Tasmania and the State’s electricity distribution networks in public hands.
