Minister, last week the CEO of Jamestrong, who are a metals manufacturing place in Taree, also in my home state, said:

The annual power price for our factory has almost doubled in four years.

He said:

We are decommissioning our baseload power of coal and gas, we are going to renewables and the cost is spiking.

That is what he said. This is a business owner. He's on the front line. Minister, if renewable energy is cheaper, why is it causing the cost of energy to spike for New South Wales manufacturing businesses? (Time expired)
