Australia's largest energy generator, AGL, has announced the first concrete steps in shutting down its Liddell coal-fired power station in the NSW Hunter Valley, pre-empting the findings of a government taskforce examining options including extending the plant's operating life.
A spokesman for Mr Taylor said the Morrison government was committed to delivering reliable and affordable power and it would release the report "in due course". Grattan Institute energy program director Tony Wood said planning to separate Liddell from Bayswater "would be logical" for AGL and "planning to do so is perfectly consistent with AGL's intention of closing Liddell".
"We are seeing continuous large-scale addition of renewable energy to the grid and increasingly storage with large battery projects in the pipelines, and there is also gas generation capacity available," Mr Jotzo said.

micksfoley NickToscano1 You have to wonder why the government continues to support coal power, despite even the power companies not wanting a bar of it. Is it because they are in the pocket of coal miners, or are they just seriously delusional? Neither are acceptable.

PM claps back over China's wine dumping claimsPrime Minister Scott Morrison says he does not accept claims that Australian companies are dumping wine in China. Too much whining! Quiet easily fixed ban all wine export to China, other countries will love our high quality products I have not seen one bottle of wine dumped in any of the reports so far. Not in the background, on the floor, none. Until I see bottles of wine discarded and laying around then China has no call to say dumping of wine is happening 🤷♂️
