Greens set 2030 cut-off for coal exports and coal-fired power stations

Party's climate policy also proposes a new public authority, Renew Australia, and a government-owned energy retailer

The Greens will propose 2030 as the cut-off point for thermal coal exports, and the shutdown date for Australia's fleet of coal-fired power stations, in the party's new climate and energy policy heading into the federal election.

With Labor expected to unveil the remaining elements of its climate policy before next week's budget, the Greens will on Thursday open the bidding on ambition, laying down markers for the policy bartering that could play out after the federal election in the event Labor wins power and the Greens remain significant crossbench players.
