Craig Kelly image : Liberal Party Of Australia<\/p><\/div>\n

NSW Liberal MP Craig Kelly has said replacing Liddell Power Station with solar panels, wind turbines and batteries is “as dangerous to the economy as rabies is in a dog”.<\/p>\n

His comment came after rumours of Chinese company Shandong Ruyi eyeing AGL’s clapped-out, coal-fired, emissions-belching Liddell Power Station, which AGL plans to shut down. Shandong Ruyi is the owner of the sprawling Cubbie Station cotton farm in Queensland.<\/p>\n

The story goes that Shandong Ruyi expressed interest in purchasing the power station to the Prime Minister’s office late last year.<\/p>\n

“Green rent-seekers tell us \u2018\u2019no one wants to invest in a coal-fired power station\u2019\u2019,” said<\/a> Mr. Kelly on Tuesday. “Well it\u2019s now clear that someone does – which is hardly surprising given hundreds of coal-fired plants are being built around the world.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Clear As Coal Ash Mud<\/h2>\n

Well, it’s not actually clear – more than three months after the alleged expression of interest, AGL states it has not had any approach from Shandong Ruyi and calls the report a non-story.<\/p>\n

AGL says<\/a> it remains committed to replacing Liddell<\/a>. While it may be viable to replace it with 100% renewables and storage, it won’t be just solar panels, wind turbines and batteries as Mr. Kelly has stated, but also gas peaker plants, demand response and an upgrade to Bayswater Power Station. There’s even the potential for pumped hydro to get a look in.<\/p>\n

While perhaps not up to speed concerning Liddell, Mr. Kelly does seem to know a thing or two about rabies. He’s been quite rabid on the issue of coal and often foaming at the mouth over renewables. Earlier this month, Craig Kelly claimed Australia\u2019s solar subsidy<\/a> was a “reverse Robin Hood scheme<\/a>“. He was joined shortly after by backbench buddy and ex-PM Tony Abbott, who outright called for an end to solar subsidies<\/a> (and all new renewables).<\/p>\n

Ending or dialing back solar subsidies further that are already being gradually phased out<\/a> might not be a great way to win friends and influence people in a country where solar power<\/a> is extremely popular among voters ..and there’s that NewsPoll thing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Speaking Of Knobs..<\/h2>\n

As SQ’s Ronald described in more detail following the backbenchers’ recent comments, Tony Abbott and Craig Kelly appear to want Energy Minister Josh Frydenberg to fiddle with his small-scale knob<\/a> in a way that could negatively impact the level of solar power subsidy available.<\/p>\n

If Mr. Frydenberg is going to do so, he has little time as it needs to be done by the end of this month – and there’s just one business day to go (today) given the looming Easter break. He can also choose to step back, not fiddle with his knob and just let the Clean Energy Regulator do the necessary tweaking, based on an established formula immune to the influences of Messrs Abbott and Kelly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
