The closure of Liddell Power Station in New South Wales in April marks major progress in the state’s plan to move away from polluting coal to clean, affordable and reliable renewable energy, said the Climate Council.

Liddell is the 13th coal power station to close in a decade in Australia’s national electricity market.
