Daily Energy News Podcast | The Tungatinah Hydro Fire & Amazon’s Historic Battery Tolling Deal

In today's episode for Thursday, 3 September 2026, emergency crews battle a destructive fire that gutted Hydro Tasmania's 142 MW Tungatinah hydro power station, forcing the state to fire up its Tamar Valley gas plant to cover the 5% supply loss. Meanwhile, Western Australia's regulator slaps state-owned Synergy with a $1.2 million fine for battery algorithm bidding that inflated wholesale costs by $9.5 million. Tech giant Amazon makes history by signing Australia’s first non-energy-corporate battery tolling deal in Gippsland, Victoria's publicly owned SEC energises its 119 MW Horsham solar farm, and Squadron Energy erects the very first turbine at Uungula—New South Wales’ only active wind farm build.
