NSW and federal government at odds over gas power plant plan ​

​New South Wales is planning to build a new gas power plant as soon as next year, putting it at odds with the federal government's renewable energy policy. ​The state plans to use a scheme designed to subsidise renewable energy generation to build new gas power plants. ​NSW Treasurer Daniel Mookhey will use a speech to the Sydney Institute today to launch an attack on recent rate increases, claiming it's hurting families in the state more than the rest of the country.
