Energy giant, AGL is expected to announce the early closure of its Bayswater Power Station at Muswellbrook today.
The company had previously indicated the plant, which employs 600 workers, would close sometime between 2030 and 2033, but has now confirmed the early closure date.
The new timeframe is 5 years earlier than originally announced.
Although AGL has recently completed a 152-million dollar upgrade of the plant, the pressure to reduce emissions and the rise of renewables is believed to be behind the decision to close early.
