AGL Bogong Power Development Project
Energy company AGL Energy is constructing a new $230 million underground hydro-electricity station at Bogong Village.
The 140-megawatt power station, located in the village beside Lake Guy, adds the final power station to the Kiewa Hydro Electric Scheme as it was envisaged in the 1950s.
The project does not involve building a new dam but instead will bring water via a 6.5 kilometre underground tunnel from the existing McKay Creek Power Station to the new station at Bogong before recycling the water yet again through Clover Power Station and then the West Kiewa Power Station.
The Bogong Power Station will produce an additional 140MW of electricity and generate 94 000 MWh of emission free new renewable electricity each year. This is enough to supply approximately 18,000 Victorian households’ annual electricity usage, abating around 93,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions each year
