As an essential service provider, we recognise gender-based violence can occur anywhere.    Yesterday evening, we joined members of the Champions of Change Coalition to mark the end of UN Women’s 16 Days of Activism against gender-based violence with our teams gathering at our orange-lit cooling towers at our Loy Yang and Bayswater Power Stations.    Because women deserve to be Safe Everywhere Always.    We don’t tolerate gender-based violence in any form at AGL.

Our AGL Customer Council has released a third open letter urging policymakers, the energy sector and market bodies to work together to ensure people, equity and fairness are at the heart of the energy transition. Some of the recommendations made this year include developing a plan to standardise assistance available to customers, fast-tracking the deployment of new tools and technologies like smart meters, and providing businesses with guaranteed businesses supports over the long-term as well as better government communication and support. Our Customer Council has run consecutively for 25 years and has released three open letters, with each providing immediate actions to ensure no customer is left behind in the energy transition and affordability for energy consumers remains a key priority. Thank you to our Council members for your insights and support: Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Australian Industry Group (Ai Group) COTA Queensland ,Business NSW, Ethnic Communities' Council of NSW.

NSW Government has announced that we’ve received planning approval for a grid-scale battery at Tomago in NSW. Our General Manager of Power Development and Energy Hubs, Travis Hughes, said this exciting announcement marks another important step in the development process of the battery. “We welcome planning approval from the NSW Minister for Planning for AGL’s Tomago battery. The 500 MW 4-hour grid-scale battery has the potential to provide additional firming capacity for AGL’s NSW customers. It will also contribute towards AGL’s ambition to add 12 GW of renewables and firming to our portfolio by 2035. Planning approval is an important milestone as we progress our development plans ahead of a final investment decision in 2025.” Read more → https://lnkd.in/gDGVV9Av #EnergyTransition #GridScaleBattery
