Energy Sources

  • Yallourn Power Station sources its brown coal from its own mine – Australia’s second largest open cut mine.
  • Tallawarra is one of the most thermally efficient power stations in Australia.
  • Hallett’s 12 highly flexible gas-turbine generators provide approximately five percent of South Australia’s power needs during peak periods. Natural gas from the Moomba pipeline is used to power the 12 turbine units.
  • Iona processes gas from offshore gas fields and stores it in reservoirs for retail and wholesale customers.
  • The Pine Dale coal produces approximately 350,000 tonnes per year for Delta Electricity’s Mt Piper power station.
  • The Waterloo Wind Farm's 37 turbines generate clean energy to supply power to a number of homes in the state. The Waterloo 2 project proposes to add six more turbines to supply enough renewable energy to power a further 7,516 households a year.
  • Cathedral Rocks’ 33 turbines generate clean energy from a remote coastal area.

Green Power:

  • Green power is offered with one of several PureEnergy plans.
  • Pollution Emissions: EnergyAustralia has made a commitment to reduce their emissions intensity by 60 percent, by 2050 (based on a 1990 emissions baseline for the National Electricity Market (NEM) and by our market share of the NEM in 2050). Reduce consumer emission by education and investing in the advancement of green technologies.

Carbon:

For tips on encouraging behaviour change to installing more energy-efficient equipment and lighting, EnergyAustralia provides suggestions through their e-Wise online education portal to help you and your business reduce your impact on the environment, and your budget. In addition, EnergyAustralia is working on a range of projects using brown coal to reduce their carbon emissions. Victoria’s carbon capture and storage project, CarbonNet, is a carbon capture and storage project supported by the Victorian and Federal Governments. In partnership with Loy Yang Power, a second study looked at a post-combustion carbon capture plant (PCC), which was also based on Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ technology. EnergyAustralia continues to work with its partners on other high-efficiency brown coal generation options that could significantly reduce carbon and other atmospheric emissions.

Waste: 

Green energy comes from natural resources such as the sun, wind and water. Harnessing natural energy generates clean power. EnergyAustralia also participates in research and development projects with Monash University and Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) for longer term innovations that could significantly reduce the cost of low emissions power generation from brown coal. They are also working with a range of parties to develop technologies that produce coal-derived products, including coal drying and conversion of brown coal to liquids, gases and chemicals. These could add significant value to brown coal and alternatives to electricity generation.

Community: 

“We work with organizations that have been carefully chosen on the basis of their reputation, the results they achieve and their relevance to the broader community”.
Sponsorships include communities around:

  • Yallourn Power Station
