Pool generation volume

Generation sold to the pool decreased by 9.4%, driven by the staggered closure of the Liddell Power Station with the first generating unit closing in April 2022 and the remaining three units in April 2023. The reduction in generation was also impacted by the Unit 2 and other outages at AGL Loy Yang. Bayswater Power Station was operated more flexibly during periods of lower demand and to support more stable Liddell Power Station running as the units approached closure. Lower gas generation was mainly due to market conditions in South Australia while higher renewable generation at the Victorian hydroelectric power stations was driven by significant rainfall in the region, partly offset by lower wind generation due to outages at Macarthur Wind Farm located in Victoria.
