The NSW Government has given approval for a power station near Narrabri to triple its output by using methane gas from coal seams. Major Projects Assessments, Executive Director Chris Wilson said the $42 million project at Wilga Park Power Station represented significant greenhouse savings both in comparison with the upgrade or building of a new coal-fired power station or the current practice of direct venting of the coal seam gas into the atmosphere.
