Engie to shut Victoria's dirtiest coal plant - Hazelwood
From The Age newspaper:
Victoria's dirtiest power station will shut down permanently as early as next April, in a blow to the Latrobe Valley that could cost up to 1000 jobs.
The owner of the Hazelwood plant, French energy giant Engie, is expected to hold a board meeting on October 19 or 20 to finalise a decision to close the aging brown coal-fired plant.
This should have happened years ago. It's the dirtiest coal plant in Victoria, and probably in Australia.
I wasn't sure where to post this. It's not new tech, it's closing old tech. Nor is it government policy. The owners have made the choice to shut it down.

Anyway it's good news.
