Power giant AGL is exploring plans to start making solar cables and recycling solar panels at the site of two retiring coal-fired power stations in NSW, as it continues to shun the Coalition’s campaign for its precinct to house a nuclear reactor instead.
On Tuesday, the company said it had signed a deal with Melbourne-based solar recycling company Elecsome to assess the feasibility of building plants to recycle end-of-life solar panels and manufacture solar cables at its Hunter Energy Hub, which will span the sites of Liddell and AGL’s neighbouring Bayswater coal-fired generator, which is due to retire no later than 2033.
The opposition leader has threatened to use Commonwealth compulsory acquisition powers to acquire the coal sites needed.AGL, the owner of two locations earmarked to house the Coalition’s proposed reactors – Victoria’s Loy Yang A coal-fired power station and NSW’s Liddell – has ruled out supporting nuclear energy at its sites and warns the debate risks derailing critical investment in the clean energy transition.
