Hazelwood Power Station

The Hazelwood Power Station is a decommissioned brown coal-fuelled thermal power station located in the Latrobe Valley of Victoria, Australia. Built between 1964 and 1971.
On 3 November 2016, the owners Engie a French Company announced that the entire Hazelwood plant would be closed as of the end of March 2017, giving the workers and local communities only five months notice of the closure.

The rehabilitation goal for Hazelwood mine is to provide a safe, stable and sustainable landscape that reflects community aspirations and the practicalities of mine rehabilitation.
Currently, Hazelwood’s end of life plan is for the mine to be a large lake, surrounded by gently receding slopes and revegetating the area with trees and grasses.

Interesting comment.
The power of this unit must be very big in relation with the number of boilers. REhabilitation in French often gives very good result in term of memory, jobs, nature

That is a massive facility and a fine photo of the place. Hope not many will be out of work. Nice photojournalism shot, David. Vote.

Now an historic image! We feel for the workers but an alternative environmentally sustainable energy source is desperately needed. Australia is a land of sunshine - solar!!!

a wonderfully-layered composition with much to look at ~ V

doubtless a major blow to employees...still, coal is a problematic energy source...solar power would seem a viable alternative in Australia..
