Su_GI thought this was interesting & a credit to all those who operated the Liddell Power Station: it “was among the 1 per cent of power stations in the world to have operated for more than 50 years”. Gives you a feeling for the expected life span of this type of infrastructure. More below & the original ABC article includes a short video of the chimneys coming down.
“The Liddell Power Station was the largest power station of its kind when it was fully operational in 1973.
“The cost of maintaining ageing infrastructure and AGL's shifting focus to cleaner energy led to its 2023 closure.
“It was among the 1 per cent of power stations in the world to have operated for more than 50 years.”
