These fossil fuel power stations burn coal to power steam turbines that generate some or all of the electricity they produce. Australia's fleet of coal fired power stations are aging and due for replacement. In early 2017, 75% of coal fired power stations in the country were operating beyond their original design life.[1]

The declining cost of renewable energy sources such as solar power, wind power and battery storage means it is unlikely a new coal fired power station will ever be built in Australia.[2] The Liddell Power Station is expected to be decommissioned and replaced by battery storage in 2022.[3]

Other States

Tasmania has no functioning coal fired power stations, instead using primarily hydroelectricity, with natural gas used as a backup.

The Northern Territory relies predominantly on natural gas, as well as various renewable energy sources. Likewise, it has no functioning coal fired power stations.

The Australian Capital Territory unlike the Northern Territory, is defined as part of NSW in the National Electricity Market, so it is counted in NSW overall electricity contribution despite their government investment in renewable energy.

South Australia previously had a number of coal power stations. The last to be closed were the Northern and Playford B power stations.[10]
