The Australian government is mounting every effort to persuade AGL Energy to sell its ageing Liddell power plant to New South Wales -owned AGL . When it was put to Frydenberg on Sunday that he was also involved in the highly unusual practice of speaking personally to board members, the energy minister said: “Well, we’ve made it very clear that it’s in the interests of the company to consider this offer.” In a bid to counteract management opposition to the deal, the country’s energy minister has spoken to individual board members, while Prime Minister Liddell has contacted AGL ’s chairman. Alinta Energy has said it intends to transform the facility into a renewables hub, providing cheaper, green energy and long-term jobs.
