The transformation of AGL's Liddell Power Station into a world-leading clean energy and employment hub has taken a significant step forward with the state government's approval of a 500 megawatt grid-scale battery for the site.

Big battery approval kick starts the transformation of Liddell Power Station site
Decoupling of transmission lines associated with the closure of the 2000 megawatt coal-fired generator, which is due to begin next month, has also been approved.
Massive grid-scale batteries will form the backbone of the national energy market (NEM) in the future. Similar projects are also planned for land adjacent to Eraring Power Station, which is due to close in 2025.
AGL Chief Operating Officer Markus Brokhof said the transition of Liddell power station into a low-carbon industrial energy hub, known as the Hunter Energy Park, would be AGL's first rehabilitation of a coal site.
