Operational greenhouse gas footprint and net energy production
Decreased brown and black coal consumption at Loy Yang A, Bayswater and Liddell power stations drove the decrease in scope 1 emissions in FY23. This was as a result of outages across Loy Yang A and Bayswater power stations and the reduced capacity / closure of Liddell Power Station during FY23. The reduced generation at the coal power stations drove the reduction in scope 2 emissions with less grid imports required to support the operations. The decrease in net energy production was driven by a decrease in brown coal sales and a decrease in generation.
Notes
FY23 data was updated in November 2023. Data was not available at the time of the initial release of the FY23 Data Centre on 10 August 2023.
Includes Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions and net energy production for assets over which AGL had operational control during the period (as defined by the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act). This does not include assets where AGL controls or has rights to the electricity output only.
Greenhouse gas emissions and net energy production have generally been calculated in accordance with the National Greenhouse and Energy Reporting Act methodologies.
Net energy production incudes the sent-out generation from AGL's operated power stations, cogeneration steam production and gas sales from operated assets, coal sales from the AGL Loy Yang Mine and the production of LPG, condensate and gas at the Wallumbilla LPG plant. This does not include any energy production for use within AGL-operated facilities.
Greenhouse gas emissions are rounded to the nearest ktCO2e. Energy production is rounded to the nearest 10 TJ.
