Environment Victoria: Early Yallourn closure can be absorbed by increasing renewable energy supply, new analysis finds

New research shows that clean energy solutions can replace Yallourn, Australia’s dirtiest power station by 2023, avoiding supply shortages and price spikes with smart investment in replacement renewable supply and storage.

The research shows we can get all the clean energy and storage we need to replace Yallourn by 2023 from projects already proposed, along with smart energy solutions like demand management, virtual power plants of rooftop solar and home batteries to smooth out the closure of this coal clunker, and improving connections between power grids in Victoria and other states. This would cut pollution, bring new jobs and investment to Victoria, make our energy more reliable and keep power prices down.
