Managed water
There was an overall 33% increase in managed water during FY24.
AGL Hydro is the main contributor to managed water reported by AGL. Managed water at AGL Hydro in FY24 increased 71%.
Managed water at AGL Macquarie decreased 96% compared to FY23, due to the closure of Liddell Power Station in late FY23. Managed water from Lake Liddell was used during the decommissioning of the Liddell Power Station in FY24.
AGL Torrens managed water decreased 9% compared to FY23. This decrease aligns with a 19% reduction in generation.
Managed water comprises non-consumptive use of water. |
AGL Hydro Managed Water includes the following facilities, West Kiewa, Bogong, Clover, Mckay, Dartmouth, Banimboola, Eildon, Rubicon Scheme, Yarrawonga, Burrendong, Copeton, Pindari, and Glenbawn power stations. |
Hydro managed water data had not been collected in FY23, so FY22 data was used as a proxy. FY23 was one of the wettest years Hydro had experienced on record, so there was more water in the scheme and dams leading into FY24. This, combined with further rainfall in H1 of FY24 is the reason for the significant increase from FY22 to FY24. |
