Continued growth in solar pushed renewable generation in Australia to just under 10,000-gigawatt hours between December 2017 and February 2018. With the Hazelwood plant knocked out of the system last year, brown coal’s output in the same period was just over 9,100 GWh.... A further 5,000 megawatts of large-scale renewables projects were under construction in February, supporting 17,445 jobs.

One of the coal plants that will be closing is the Hazelwood coal plant, the following video is a song composed to say goodbye to the plant.
