I move:
That the Senate supports the closure of the Liddell power station in 2022, as currently planned, and calls on the Government to:
(a) abandon any attempts to extend the life of this aging coal-fired power station;
(b) address any issues of security of supply through means identified by the Australian Energy Market Operator, such as dispatchable renewables, storage and demand management; and
(c) develop a plan for the orderly retirement of coal-fired power stations in Australia.
Question agreed to.
