Eraring only brought online in 1982 built by the Wran Government following the power emergency in the late 70's.
Vales Point B was commissioned in the late 70's following the power emergency, Vales Point A built in the 60's closed in the 80's.
Standardised the Toshiba 660 MW turbines in all future coal power stations.
Good info thanks
OMG I used to work at the Electricity Commission and got a personal tour of Eraring back in 82 when it opened. Hard to believe it's about to be retired
Wow good comment
It's funny this video popped up in my recommended, because I had a dream it was being demolished last night. As a local of this area, I grew up with Eraring power station, and I will be very sad to see it go.
Hope you visited Newcastle for another update if you made it to Dora Creek! Love the videos mate.
I’m hoping to get back there very soon cheers mate
@@BigJayDogAdventures Would love to see it! Newy is looking very exciting the next few years. Plenty of cranes up and we have a few 100m developments due for completion the next few years.
You should have a look at Wangi Power Station.
:Powerful video JD (excuse pun). I think most Australians will be happy to see these massive polluters go the way of the dinosaur as we move to more sustainable and renewable forms of energy. Your juxtaposition of the beautiful Lake Macquarie and these two scarfaced coal guzzling behemoths makes a dramatic statement. Well done !
In South Africa the major cities have been without power for up to 12 hours a day. Whilst Australia will likely fare better you can get a feel for how concepts of beauty disappear quickly when an essential service is interrupted by looking to South Africa. Essential services for modern living are not really items that lend well to average person to vote on and you'd be better off looking to vote on items that can improve life for future or current generations.
@@infiniteloopcounter9444 Well said ! Let's hope we are ready to go in 2025.
Eraring not as polluting as you think. It had huge fabric filters to prevent coal dust emissions, and cold lake water cooled the steam before it was releaed through the chimneys.
All years that are yet to happen are "coming". The Sun will explode in "coming years". I think you mean "the next few years" 😉
Thanks for educating me😀
But why because enivermen
Nah not vermin
