AGL to cease Torrens Island ‘B’ Power Station operation in 2026

Its economic viability will be affected by the completion of Project Energy Connect.

AGL Energy said it will close the Torrens Island “B” Power Station on 30 June 2026 as it pushes for turning the Torrens Island site into a low-carbon industrial Energy Hub.

In a statement, AGL said the closure of the power station is in line with the planned completion of the Project Energy Connector interconnector between South Australia and New South Wales in mid-2026.

The interconnector could affect South Australia’s gas-fired generation and the power station’s economic viability.

The 800-megawatt Power Station that started operating in 1976 provides electricity and grid ancillary services to South Australia.

AGL said the first of the four “B1” generating units stopped operation in October 2021, but the remaining three will retire on 30 June 2026, along with the “B” Power Station.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
