South Australia’s last coal-fired power station is under demolition.

Explosives were used to demolish the Port Augusta’s 47-metre-high east coal bunker and towers.

Last month, the station’s west coal bunker and tower were blown up.

The Northern Power Station, 280 kilometres north of Adelaide, was closed by its operator Alinta Energy in 2015 after an unsuccessful attempt to gain $25 million in subsidies from the South Australian government.

Flinders Power, which is decommissioning the site, said the power station’s iconic 200-metre-high northern stack is scheduled to complete the demolition in July this year.
