The retirement of Yallourn power station marks not an ending, but a new chapter for the Latrobe Valley. We are excited to be exploring transformative energy developments at this historic site that will continue to position our region at the forefront of Victoria's energy future.
These proposed developments represent our commitment to ensuring the Valley continues to power Victoria for generations to come. By embracing new energy technologies and opportunities, we're creating a pathway that honours our proud energy heritage while building the reliable power infrastructure our state needs.
With developments like the Wooreen Energy Storage System already underway, we're determined to ensure our region remains essential to Victoria's energy security while leading the transition to a sustainable future. Wooreen and the proposed developments at Yallourn would connect into existing power lines and transmission infrastructure, which helps to reduce the cost of the transition.
The Valley has always powered Victoria. With these new developments, we will ensure it continues to do exactly that.
