2021 March 10th - Energy Australia to close Yallourn power station early and build 350 megawatt battery

 


Victoria's Yallourn power station has been operating for 47 years.

Energy Australia will close the Yallourn power station in Victoria's Latrobe Valley in mid-2028, four years ahead of schedule, and build a giant power-generating battery instead.

The brown coal-fired plant produces about a fifth of the state's electricity and is Victoria's oldest power station.

It employs 500 permanent workers plus hundreds of contractors and was previously scheduled to close in 2032.
