coal fired power stations

Oct. 28 (Bloomberg) -- Coal-fired power generators want Australia to give them a third of the carbon permits they would need over the first two decades of an emission trading plan as part of an adjustment package worth more than A$1 billion ($600 million), the Australian Financial Review said.
This figure represents as few as 10 to 15 percent of the total emissions permit pool, the newspaper said, citing the National Generators Forum.
The likely impact of the carbon trading proposal on the sector should be known this week when Treasury releases modeling on the economic implications of an emissions trading system at both an economy-wide and industry level, the newspaper said.
