Several Hunter councils have been left in limbo over electricity supply after a company that agreed to provide power for 10 years tried to pull the plug on its contract.
Lake Macquarie, Cessnock, Central Coast, Muswellbrook, Upper Hunter and Maitland councils entered into a "long-term electricity procurement agreement" with Mojo Power in January which they said would be backed by new renewable electricity generation projects - including the NSW government approved Upper Hunter Energy Park.
