Albanese govt calling on NSW and Qld to implement $125-a-tonne domestic coal price capSky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says the federal government is seeking to get New South Wales and Queensland to “implement a cap on the domestic coal price of $125 a tonne”. He said the government is set to announce a cap on gas prices of $13 per gigajoule. “The federal government at the moment is offering no compensation to the states for implementing a coal price cap but saying that putting on a coal price cap is the states' responsibility,' Mr Clennell said. “The New South Wales government is not focused, as I understand it, on getting compensation for royalties. “They are focused on consumers and are aware that implementing a $125 per tonne coal price cap would mean they would have to compensate coal-fired power generators who have already contracted coal at a much higher price.” He also said the New South Wales government fears “coal companies could collapse” if they are forced to provide coal to generators at these prices.
