The 168–170 metre tall structures were toppled using explosives as part of the final stage of decommissioning the former coal-fired power station, which once supplied electricity to around one million homes across New South Wales. The site is now set for redevelopment into a cleaner energy hub, including large-scale battery storage to support renewable power. The demolition has been described as symbolic of Australia’s transition away from coal-fired electricity toward renewable energy infrastructure.
