Summary
The NSW Coalition opposition has proposed a plan to shift renewable energy projects from regional areas to urban centers in Sydney, Newcastle, and Wollongong. The policy would establish new city renewable energy zones, placing solar and clean energy infrastructure on apartments, commercial buildings, and industrial precincts, while scaling back the controversial New England renewable energy zone. The move aims to reduce regional anger over renewable energy policy ahead of the 2027 state election.
