AGL, Australiaâs largest greenhouse gas emitter, is also the most prolific violator of environmental regulations for coal-fired power plants, collecting twice the rate of breaches as its market share in NSW and Victoria, analysis shows.
Data gathered by the Australia Beyond Coal alliance and published on the Coal Impacts Index website, also found AGL was responsible for the highest number of power failures at its plants.
AGLâs Bayswater coal-fired power plant in the NSW Hunter Valley led other power stations in the numbers of breaches, including a water pollution incident that cost the company more than $1 million in fines.
