Qld: Beattie to sell retail arms of power suppliers
The BEATTIE government will announce formally today .. the customer base of Queensdland's
two electricity suppliers is on the market.
The retail arms of Energex and Ergon energy will be offered for sale to business interests
.. in a decision likely to net the government more than one billion dollars.
The government will retain ownership of the electricity suppliers .. and the generators
will be protected from privatisation.
Mr BEATTIE has previously said he'd never give away Queensland's power development
advantage .. as other states have done in the past.
The Premier is due to meet key industry and business stakeholders at 10 am (AEST).
