| Liddell was commissioned in 1971 and is due to close in 2022. |
Liddell power station in NSW is seen by its owner as ready to close, yet regarded by the Prime Minister as the key to energy supply for five years beyond that.
The short answer is that it is unreliable and expensive to run.
Liddell is the oldest coal-fired power station still running in Australia. It was commissioned in 1971 and is due to close in 2022.
Its owner AGL notes it is likely to be more unreliable as it nears the end of its life.
