Deputy NSW Nationals leader and state education minister Adrian Piccoli has declared his opposition to the sale of electricity poles and wires just days before government MPs are recalled to a special partyroom meeting to consider the issue before the June 17 state budget.

Mr Piccoli, the member for Murrumbidgee, told ABC radio on Thursday morning that people in his electorate had ''made it very clear they don't want their local electricity poles and wires to be sold, and I agree with them''.

''In Sydney they can do what they like,'' Mr Piccoli said. ''If [people in] Sydney want to sell their poles and wires, they can do that. But in the country, where Essential Energy run the poles and wires, I certainly won't be supporting the sale, even the partial sale.''
