MELBOURNE, May 9 (Reuters) - Australia's industrial relations commission has barred unions from stopping work at the biggest power plant in the state of Victoria next week to prevent the loss of a third of the state's power supply.
The Electrical Trades Union had threatened rolling work stoppages from May 15 at AGL Energy's (AGL) Loy Yang A power plant and coal mine in Victoria. AGL had said it would have to shut the plant and mine, which also supplies coal to Engie SA's
Loy Yang B power station. The state government last week asked the Fair Work Commission to block the work stoppages and AGL's move in order to avert a huge loss of power supply. The commission ruled late on Wednesday to terminate the industrial action.
"Consequently, neither the ETU's action nor AGL's action will proceed," AGL said in a statement.
The 2,180 megawatt Loy Yang A plant and 1,000 MW Loy Yang B plant together make up 32 percent of Victoria's power capacity, according to the Australian Energy Market Operator's (AEMO) web site.
