Loy Yang Power Station

Community

Loy Yang A power station is targeted for closure in 2035 as AGL reshapes its future energy portfolio in one of the most significant decarbonisation initiatives in Australia.

At AGL, we understand that there needs to be a benefit to the communities that surround our electricity and gas generation sites. That’s why, we have a specialised Community Offer that is tailored to the communities in which we operate, including the Latrobe Valley.

Visit agl.com.au/CommunityOffer to check your eligibility and to sign up.

The purpose of the Community Dialogue Group (CDG) is to hear from community members and leaders about how AGL Loy Yang can better engage as well as provide an open dialogue to ask questions and discuss local issues particularly involving the energy industry.

If you would like  to hear more information on the CDG, please contact us at AGLCommunity@agl.com.au.

Community Partnerships

AGL Loy Yang proudly continues its long association with several organisations. Take a look at just a few of our larger partnerships:

AGL announced its partnership with the North Gippsland Football and Netball League (NGFNL) in 2016 and this year re-signed to partner with the league until 2026. AGL Loy Yang is in the centre of the NGFNL catchment area, and many of our employees and their families are involved in NGFNL clubs, making this the perfect partnership.

One of the many highlights of our partnership with the NGFNL is the local Pride Cup. AGL understands how critical it is to be leader in promoting diversity and inclusion within business and the community.  This year AGL Loy Yang supported the league to hold two additional partnership events, a Mental Health Round and Indigenous Round. 

The aim of the Mental Health Round is to raise awareness of importance of mental health and the impacts it can have on communities. AGL Loy Yang has also supported Mindful Aus to deliver mental health sessions within all 11 clubs, as well as training two members from each club in mental health first aid. 

AGL supported the NGFNL to promote an Indigenous Round during NAIDOC week, with a smoking ceremonies & Welcome to Country at each home team ground. Encouraging learning, awareness, and knowledge of Aboriginal culture within our local community.

The AGL Loy Yang Traralgon Tennis International is one of the largest events on the Latrobe Valley’s sporting calendar. It is considered a lead-up event to the Australian Open’s Junior Championships and serves as a qualifying tournament for players to become eligible for a Grand Slam.

AGL Loy Yang has sponsored the Traralgon Tennis International for over 30 years.

AGL Loy Yang has partnered with Latrobe City Council since 2019 to bring together the Morwell International Rose Garden Festival, held in November. The festival is held over two days and encompasses a Midsummer Night Light Show, which was powered by AGL Loy Yang.

These stakeholders may include Federal and State Members of Parliament, the Latrobe City Council, relevant Government Department personnel, media as well as key community groups.
