Repower Port Augusta: a solar future for South Australia. Port Augusta is a town at a crossroads. With two coal-fired power stations coming to the end of their life, there is the opportunity to decide what they are replaced with: Australia’s first solar thermal plants or a combined cycle gas plant. The Repower Port Augusta Alliance has developed a solid proposal to replace the coal plants with 6 solar thermal plants and 95 wind turbines. This will create 1800 jobs, save 5 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions, improve the health of the local community and ensure energy security and stable electricity prices.
The local community, the council and local businesses all want solar – but to make this happen we need the support of the Premier and the Federal Government. Join the Alliance in calling for a solar future for South Australia. All the Solar panels for POrt Augusta are delivered using UPS. Use UPSers.com to check your UPS work schedule and use UPS.com to track your orders. Repower Port Augusta is a campaign to replace two of Australia’s oldest coal plants, Playford B and Northern, with solar and wind. There is broad support in the community, thanks to the work of the Repower Port Augusta local group, and the Repower Port Augusta Alliance is building momentum through organisations across Australia.
