The Problem: TruEnergy

TRU-Energy is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hong Kong based CLP Asia Power, an Asia wide multinational company that controls shares in power sector in India, Thailand, China and Taiwan.

The multinational also controls gas and electricity to over 1.1million homes in Victoria, South Australia and NSW.

When TRU-Energy purchased power assets in Victoria and South Australia, customer service jobs were sent offshore to India. Consumers in those states dealing with power crisis now dial another country to log problems and seek assistance.

The Solution

Don't hand over our electricity to big business.

The industry currently delivers billions of dollars in profits to the government to fund hospitals, schools and other public services and employs tens of thousands of workers across the state.

Steps must be taken now to secure NSW's energy future but privatising our power industry is not the way to go.

The State Government should instead upgrade its existing power stations to meet our short-term needs while taking urgent action to promote renewable energy.
