What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Alinta Energy has withdrawn its Oven Mountain Pumped Hydro project, located 60 kilometres east of Armidale on the Macleay River. The company stated that economic and timing challenges, particularly concerning a critical transmission line, made it unviable to continue the work. The project was classified as a state-significant project, and the NSW government had previously allocated $9.64 million from the NSW Pumped Hydro Recoverable Grants Program.
