New South Wales has secured an $83 million (US$64 million) gas-hydrogen hybrid power station, Tallawarra B, following the planned closure of the Liddell coal-fired power plant in 2023.
The closure of Liddell was announced in 2019 and will see the exit of 1,680 MW of reliable energy from the power grid, which forced the NSW government to scramble for alternative sources of power and set a target of 1,000 MW to replace the loss in energy capacity partially.
