2ENERGY INFRASTRUCTURE WITHIN MELBOURNE
1. Introduction
The Melbourne City is one of the local area of the government located in Victoria,
Australia. It is the capital state of Victoria. Melbourne is mostly famous for their street art
and coffee culture. The city also hosts a range of international events of sporting that includes
the Australian Open, Formula 1 Grand Prix and Melbourne Cup Carnival.
2. Discussion
The energy resources within Melbourne is primarily generated with the help of
several technologies or the use of fuels. This also includes the use of natural gas, coal and
sources of renewable energy (Bahadori, Zahedi and Zendehboudi 2013). The government of
the state always looks towards greater opportunities in order to improve the overall efficiency
of energy and thus would be able to generate a substantial amount of energy from their
operations. The City of Melbourne mainly make use of gas, electricity and transport fuels,
which mainly provide the main energy that are widely used for the conduction of the daily
activities. Melbourne has a huge abundance of sources of energy that comprises of a mixture
of fossil and renewable energy.
The Melbourne City also consists of hydroelectric power stations that are installed
within their network of power supply. They generate 69,500 megawatts of electricity every
year. These power stations are able to generate the energy based on the pressure of flow of
the water. There are also some waste treatment plants that make use of biogas in order to
meet the needs of electricity (Energy In Victoria 2018).
