Environmental monitoring

Liddell and Bayswater's operations are monitored by the NSW EPA, which receives round-the-clock data on environmental performance. AGL Macquarie also maintains five ambient air quality monitoring stations around the site.

As per the Protection of the Environment Legislation Amendment Act 2011, AGL must publish monthly monitoring data for each power station on our website. Find this data on our environmental monitoring page.
