The future for power must be done differently.
When a system is so vulnerable a heat wave can plummet whole regions into darkness, for days, something has to change.
When projects which could deliver jobs for families are held up by power approvals and families are charged thousands to connect to existing power supply, questions must be asked.
We’ve given Labor every opportunity to explain their mismanagement of our power networks, now its too little too late. We believe it is the job of Government to deliver reliable power. Everyone understands blackouts happen, but not for days at a time.
We believe a diverse network is a dependable one, and by introducing energy microgrids where they are most needed, we begin to build resilience into the system.
Labor shutdown Collie’s coal without thinking about our energy security – leading to the importation of coal from the east coast, to the tune of $40 million in WA taxpayer funds.
A well-planned transition is much more reliable than one which pulls the rug out from under West Australians. We don’t believe in supporting east coast industries over our own – local industry means local jobs and The Nationals will always put local first.
