considerable progress this year in bringing  new renewable energy projects into our  generation portfolio. During the year, we completed construction  of the 53 MW Hallett 5 wind farm in South  Australia and the 67.2 MW Oaklands Hill  wind farm in Victoria. Work also continued  on the 420 MW Macarthur wind farm  which is expected to be fully operational  in early 2013. Generation capacity at our hydro facilities  continued to improve. Substantial rainfall  throughout the year has increased dam  storage levels. As a result, Eildon power  station operates at full generation capacity  of 120 MW and the Dartmouth power  station to 163 MW (more than 90% of its  maximum capacity of 180 MW). In addition to continuing to work on proving  up AGL’s own reserves of gas, our Upstream  Gas business has also been developing  gas storage projects. These will play an  increasingly important role in providing  security of gas supply to major population  centres, especially during periods of  peak demand. In November, AGL officially opened the  Silver Springs Underground Gas Storage  project south of Roma, Queensland. This  is a gas storage project using a depleted  natural gas reservoir in the Surat Basin in  central Queensland. It will be used to deliver  greater reliability, and flexibility, of supply  to our gas customers. As we continue to increase the level of  vertical integration by adding new power  generation, gas storage and, in due course,  more significant gas production assets,  the importance of workplace safety will  continue to increase. This is particularly  the case at operational sites where our  employees and contractors will be working  in environments with the potential for  serious injury. It is disappointing to report that our Total  Injury Frequency Rate has increased this  year, from 5.0 to 6.6. This follows an  increase in 2011 after three successive  years of improved outcomes. The  unfavourable trend has been a matter  of great concern for AGL’s management  and Directors. However, we have been  encouraged by the large fall this year in  the number of high risk near miss safety  incidents, particularly those relating to  electrical safety at our power stations.  Considerable effort has been put into the  development of safety leadership at our  operating sites, including the introduction  of safety “golden rules”. These appear to be  having a positive effect in improving safety  culture at those sites, although there is  still much more that we will need to do to  achieve our goal of zero harm. AGL is celebrating the 175th anniversary  of the formation of The Australian Gas  Light Company, which was incorporated  on 7 September 1837 under an Act of  Parliament for the purpose of “lighting with  gas the Town of Sydney”. We are using this  occasion to remind our employees, our  customers, and the regional communities  in which we operate that AGL has a long  and proud history of respecting the  environment, working with the community  and responding to the changing needs of  Australian society. The energy industry continues to evolve at a  rapid pace. AGL is well positioned to respond  to those changes. We have another busy  year ahead of us, but I am confident that we  will continue to deliver outcomes of value  for our customers and our shareholders. A revitalisation of our 6 year  program targeting areas most  at risk of energy-related  financial hardship by developing  and evidence based approach  to corporate citizenship. In our 175th year of operation,  we focus on achieving our  vision of creating energy  solutions for the communities  of today and tomorrow. AGL Energy Limited 2012 Annual Report 9 We have been working hard over the last  few years to improve the representation  of women in leadership positions at AGL.  The number of women in leadership roles  has been steadily increasing. In March,  our efforts in this area were recognised  by the Equal Opportunity for Women in  the Workplace Agency (EOWA) when we  were named as an Employer of Choice  for Women. Like many other Australian  companies, we still have plenty of scope  for further improvement. However, this  acknowledgement provides encouragement  that we are heading in the right direction. This has been a very busy year at AGL.  I also think it has been a very successful  year. I would like to thank all AGL  employees for their contributions in  bringing about this result. Development approval has recently been  obtained to construct an LNG storage  facility at Newcastle, in New South  Wales. Construction work is about to  commence, with the facility expected to be  commissioned early in 2015. In March 2012, AGL acquired the  development rights for the Silverton wind  farm near Broken Hill in New South Wales. In June 2012, AGL was announced as the  successful bidder in the Commonwealth  Government’s Solar Flagships Program.  Together with our project partner,  First Solar, AGL will construct two solar  photovoltaic power stations at Broken Hill  and Nyngan in New South Wales with a  total capacity of 159 MW.
