Energy consumption by primary fuel source
The annual changes in energy consumption were influenced by several key factors. The increase in brown coal consumption was attributed to higher electricity generation at the AGL Loy Yang A Power Station. Conversely, the decrease in black coal consumption resulted from the closure of the Liddell Power Station in FY23. Additionally, natural gas consumption declined due to an overall reduction in generation from gas-fired power stations. The reduction in grid electricity consumption was primarily driven by the closure of the Liddell Power Station and fewer outages at the AGL Loy Yang A and Bayswater Power Stations compared to FY23.
Energy consumption data has been determined in accordance with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act 2007 and its supporting legislative framework that has been produced (and is periodically updated) by the Australian Federal Government. |
Energy consumption includes all instances where fuels are combusted, or otherwise consumed by AGL's activities (including flaring, venting and degradation of energy commodities). However, the reported values do not include situations where fuel commodities are used as a feedstock (e.g. in the manufacture of LPG), or where the commodities are not significantly altered by the consumption (such as the consumption of wind, water and solar energy). |
Energy consumption has been rounded to the nearest TJ. |
Data comprises energy consumed at our operated facilities, and does not include energy purchased through the wholesale market which is sold to our customers. |
FY24 data was updated in November 2024. Data was not available at the time of the initial release of the FY24 Data Centre on 14 August 2024. |
