South Australia's government has been quick to reassure residents there will be no negative impacts to the state's power supply when AGL closes its Torrens Island B gas-fired power station in 2026, a decade earlier than planned.
Energy stability has been front of mind for many South Australians after thousands of homes were left without power for days and the state was isolated from the national energy grid as a result of widespread storm damage recently.
AGL's announcement also comes at a time when cost-of-living pressures continue to rise and amid predictions of a jump in electricity prices next year.
