Australia’s biggest coal-fired power plant operator has ruled out taking part in the Coalition’s plan to build nuclear generators at its sites.
AGL, the biggest owner of coal-fired power stations in Australia, has ruled out participating in the Coalition’s push to build nuclear plants at the sites of retiring generators, and warns the debate risks derailing critical investment in the energy transition.
AGL, the largest Australian power supplier, last year shuttered the Liddell coal-fired power station in NSW and remains the owner of the neighbouring Bayswater plant and the Loy Yang A generator in Victoria.
Dutton and the Coalition are critical of the pace and scale of the Albanese government’s ambitious renewable energy rollout targets, which aim to boost the share of clean energy in the grid from its current level of 40 per cent to 82 per cent by 2030.
