Less than a year ago, GE Reports brought you the story of some of the people working to build the Tallawarra B power station, north of Sydney, Australia. This week, EnergyAustralia announced the opening of Tallawarra B, which is the first dual-fuel gas-and-hydrogen power plant in Australia. It will add as much as 320 megawatts (MW) to the grid, enough to power the equivalent of about 150,000 Australian homes.

Few people know more about the electrons they use to power their day-to-day life than Michael Knez. Often up before dawn when all else is silent, Knez says he can hear the hum coming from Australia’s Tallawarra Power Station, four kilometers away across Lake Illawarra from his house, which Knez helped build some 14 years ago. A massive combined-cycle gas-fired power plant, Tallawarra produces enough electricity to supply the equivalent of roughly 200,000 Australian homes with substantially lower carbon emissions than the coal-fired plant it replaced.
A gas turbine stripped down to nothing but its casing brings to mind a scene from an automaker’s assembly line: an empty chassis that’s full of potential. Next year, a GE team will seek to realize such potential at the 435-megawatt Tallawarra A power station, 60 miles south of Sydney on the New South Wales coast. The goal is to transform an existing GE turbine there into one that will be more efficient and require less natural gas to generate electricity.
Between three to five percent of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Australians living in remote and regional areas suffer from rheumatic heart disease (RHD). Poverty and lack of primary healthcare is behind the persistence of a deadly disease that has been virtually absent in the rest of Australia for more than 50 years.
Coal-fired boilers have provided global industry with steam and power since the industrial revolution. But today, their high carbon emissions have become a liability. Given their steady and reliable output of energy, replacing them is far from simple. Australia’s Manildra Group, a large family-owned agribusiness, is now lighting the way.

A strange thing occurred while Quinn Darragh was swimming from England to France in September 2020. He could swear his wife Sheree was swimming below him in the icy black water as he slowly crawled his way from Dover to a spot near Calais. Except his wife was a mermaid.
“Weird things happen” when you’re as tired and cold as he was, Darragh says. “You hallucinate at certain points.”
