Apr 13, 2023 - How do you close a coal-fired power station?



Liddell Power Station in the NSW Hunter Valley will switch off on April 28, 2023. After that, there’s a lot of work that needs to be done to demolish the coal-fired power plant.

We explain how exactly a station of this magnitude is shut down, and what comes next.
