There are two
power stations in the Muswellbrook Shire, Bayswater and Liddell, owned and
operated by Macquarie Generation
who have the capacity to produce up to 40% of New South Wales
electricity demand. These two stations employ 571 people and were
commissioned in mid 1980's
and 1973 respectively. In 1996. the two stations were corporatised under the
Macquarie Generation
banner with its head office in Newcastle. Since corporatisation, the
efficiencies and safety
record has reached a standard that would be accepted anywhere in the world.
Macquarie
Generation own approximately 9000 hectares in the vicinity of the power
stations and in the last few years there has been a push to relocate large
electricity users to the industrial zone. This strategy reflects the
professionalism of the Organisation.
The uniqueness
for businesses and industry in this area Is highlighted by Macquarie Generation
who have created an Industrial Zone. This provides start up companies or
companies relocating, using
electricity as one of their major inputs, the opportunity to access
an area that provides all that they need in one simple package.
