Loy Yang power station and mine
Commissioned in 1984, Loy Yang A is a coal-fired power station with a capacity of 2,210 megawatts. The adjoining mine is Australia's largest brown coal mine, with an output of 3600 tonnes of coal and 2500 cubic metres of overburden an hour.
Loy Yang A is scheduled to close in 2035, in line with our Climate Transition Action Plan (PDF). As part of our planning for the future of the Loy Yang site, we have committed to a Structured Transition Agreement (STA) with the Victorian Government to support the respectful and construction retirement of the Loy Yang A Power Station.
Latrobe Valley Energy Hub
We’re committed to repurposing the Loy Yang site into the Latrobe Valley Integrated Industrial Energy Hub.
Our Loy Yang site has several features to support an industrial low carbon energy hub, and with extensive land development potential as well as existing transmission infrastructure, we’re excited to have started the early stages of energy hub planning.
Loy Yang, and the Latrobe Valley, have a skilled workforce, our site has established transport connectivity and it played a significant role in the successful Hydrogen Energy Supply Chain (HESC) pilot project, which has now moved into a commercial feasibility investigation study.
We have plans for a grid-scale battery and are exploring opportunities across different sectors including advanced manufacturing and recycling.
We are working with government, local key stakeholders, educators, industry, business partners, and the community to transition to a new era of renewable energy generation and bring new industries and opportunities to the Latrobe Valley.
