Source, EnergyAustralia coal power deals with Victoria are kept secret

The Victorian Labor government is keeping secret more than 40 documents detailing deals with AGL and EnergyAustralia to keep coal-fired power stations running for up to a decade, while also committing to 95% renewable energy by 2035.

An earlier version of this article incorrectly claimed the Victorian government had struck deals with coal power station owners Origin Energy and EnergyAustralia. I should have referred to AGL and EnergyAustralia.
