Analysts "said that, unlike Origin’s Eraring coal plant in NSW, Yallourn’s profitability had been “severely eroded” by market conditions and any decision to extend the life of the facility beyond 2028 was likely to require “a substantial payment by government”."

NSW runs 66 per cent of current data centre demand, Victoria 30 per cent. Both states close major coal plants before 2030. Yallourn goes in 2028, Eraring in 2029.

To the eternal shame of the Minns Laberal govt:

"No new wind farms have begun construction in NSW, or even secured a power purchase agreement, since the state govt approved & underwrote an extension of the country’s biggest coal generator Eraring in..2025."

"NSW taxpayers will pay an extraordinary $450m to fossil fuel giant Origin Energy to prop up its unviable coal-fired Eraring Power Station for 2 more years..

..the Minns govt deal will see NSW taxpayers fund 80% of Origin’s losses in operating the plant..."

reneweconomy.com.au/australias-m... if I understand this correctly the Waratah Super Battery is now free to enter the evening peak market, so while Eraring does get a life extension it's going to find it's nightly dinner getting a lot smaller.
