There's no turning back for AGL as the Liddell power plant prepares for a post-coal future.
Diversified engineering firm Delta Group has been awarded the contract for the first stage of closure, decommissioning and demolition planning for Liddell, AGL said on Friday.
For 50 years, the Liddell power station has produced around 8000 gigawatt hours of electricity annually, powering more than one million average Australian family homes.

'Preparing for Liddell's closure is a bittersweet moment for AGL - the station and its people play such an important role in Australia's energy supply,' AGL Chief Operating Officer Markus Brokhof said.
