Interview with Chris Kenny 2GB
19 December 2018
CHRIS KENNY: Now, a lot of emails still coming in on this energy debate. The idiot Opposition Minister for the Environment said pump hydro - if we get less energy from that, it costs us, and then we will get rid of it. Does that- does he really understand basic science? He says: you can’t get rid of pumped hydro, you need to build a dam. Also, wind power generation in New South Wales has a capacity of almost 1300 megawatts, according to Alan, but apparently, yesterday from 11am to 1.30pm, the output varied between 1- no, minus 1 and 4.3 megawatts.

ANGUS TAYLOR: Well good afternoon. It's great to be here with my friend and colleague Matt Canavan, the Minister for Resources. We're delighted with the outcomes from the day.

Interview with Ticky Fullerton, Your Money, Sky News
19 December 2018
TICKY FULLERTON: Now to somebody who I suppose could've been part of the National Party but ended up very much a Liberal. Federal Energy Minister Angus Taylor was today seeking to secure an agreement on the retailer reliability obligation at the COAG meeting. But his task was made all the much harder today, given his Liberal state colleague, from the largest state actually - New South Wales, has criticised him ahead of those talks. How did it all play out?
Radio interview with Jane Marwick 6PR Perth
18 December 2018
JANE MARWICK: A new report out today says emissions reductions in Australia’s electricity market are on track to meet the Paris target eight years ahead of schedule. Angus Taylor is the Energy Minister and joins me now. Minister, good morning. Welcome to 6PR.
ANGUS TAYLOR: Thanks for having me, Jane.
JANE MARWICK: Look, it’s a political hot potato - there is no doubt about it. A lot of people have been saying get out of Paris. What do these new figures show you?
Interview with Simon Lauder, ABC South East NSW
18 December 2018
SIMON LAUDER: Now last week the board of Snowy Hydro approved a final investment decision for the Snowy 2.0 pumped hydro scheme. Now it's over to the company's major shareholder to decide if the project will go ahead. Snowy 2.0 would create 2000 megawatts of on-demand generation and 350,000 megawatt hours of storage. It's a multi-billion dollar project and the federal government must now decide whether it will go ahead. Angus Taylor grew up in Nimmitabel and is the Energy Minister in the Morrison Government. Minister, good morning.
Doorstop with Tasmanian Premier, Will Hodgman, Poatina Power Station, Tasmania
13 December 2018
STEPHEN DAVY: Good morning and welcome to Poatina Power Station. First of all, I'd like to pay my respects to the Traditional Owners of this land and their leaders, past, present and emerging. Here at Poatina, we're at a site that's very important in our history. Great Lake was the site of our first large-scale hydro power about 100 years ago, and that power station in Waddamana was decommissioned when Poatina was built 50 years ago, and Poatina now uses the water at Great Lake. And that water then ends up in Launceston down the Cataract Gorge.

Interview with Elysse Morgan, The Business, ABC News
11 December 2018
ELYSSE MORGAN: The government has committed to bringing down power prices for consumers - but what does the Energy Minister, Angus Taylor, consider a fair price for power? And what about profits? The government has slammed power companies for making too much - but its own energy firm, Red Energy, has been making hundreds of millions of dollars too. I spoke with Minister Angus Taylor earlier. Angus Taylor, as I understand it, the divestiture legislation allows the government to force divestiture if it forms the view of excessive profit making.
