We have known for some time AGL was going to close Liddell power station down. It is simply uneconomic because of its age. Remember also AGL is not paying full dollar for the coal!
When AGL announced the closure it said the power station would be replaced by renewables, a gas station and a battery. This seemed to be lost on critics and the Federal government. They stated prices would rise just as they did after Hazelwood closed.
We now have new modelling commissioned it must be said by Greenpeace that shows renewables and batteries are they way to replace the Liddell power plant.
Ah you say it was commissioned by Greenpeace so what. Well on my reading of the work it appears pretty solid. Only criticise the work not who commissioned the work. Shoddy work is usually pretty easy to recognise. This work is far from shoddy!
THIS adds more to the problem.
I should add Matt Kean the NSW Minister deserve some accolades. He can do what Angus Taylor the federal Minister cannot.
