The case at a glance:
- Last year, the IPC refused the Redbank restart after considering substantial community feedback and expert evidence on climate, environmental and community impacts.
- Energy company Verdant Earth Technologies who are proposing to restart the coal-fired power station and burn biomass in place of coal has appealed that refusal.
- The Land and Environment Court of NSW granted our client, NCC, the right to join the proceedings and help defend the IPC’s refusal of the Redbank Power Station restart.
