| Vales Point power station was registered with the emissions reduction fund but rejected. |
As reported by Guardian Australia, the Vales Point coal plant in New South Wales was registered with the $2.55bn emissions reduction fund, the “direct action” policy introduced by Tony Abbott and extended by Scott Morrison, in August 2018.
Its owners, Sunset Power International trading as Delta Electricity, wanted to bid for taxpayers’ support to help pay for a $14m project to replace turbine blades.
