Origin Energy fined $15,000 for ash dam dust

Feb 6 2017

Origin Energy, owner of Eraring Power Station, is fined $15,000 by the NSW Environment Protection Authority after an incident where dust from the power station’s ash dam was blown offsite in September 2016. The EPA Director calls Origin’s failure to appropriately manage storage of ash unacceptable.
