Coal is supplied via a conveyor from Meandu Mine, which is 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) away and is also owned by Stanwell.

[1] In 2024, Peter Dutton said he intends, if elected, to build one of seven government-owned nuclear power plants on this site, to be operational by 2035–2037.

Thus the accelerated construction program included not only bringing forward the dates, but also compressing the timeline.

[citation needed] Stanwell decided in 2021 to install a 150 MW grid battery at Tarong.

The technology being trialled collected carbon dioxide and pumped it into waste water where it synthesised oil-rich algae into edible seaweed products or oils.
