The South Australian government has asked energy retailer AGL to extend the life of its ageing Torrens Island gas generator by two years amid warnings by the energy market operator that its scheduled closure would pose energy risks for the state.
The proposed extension to the plant is the result of delays to the completion of Project EnergyConnect, the new $4.1 billion electricity cable linking NSW and South Australia, which is required to bring on the new renewable power needed to replace the retiring gas facility.
