VPRS 19778 Hazelwood Power Station Files

This series comprises files recording information concerning a range of matters created by various divisions of the Hazelwood Power Station while it was administered by Generation Victoria (VA 4078) and Hazelwood Power (VA 4075). Included are documents acquired from the State Electricity Commission of Victoria (VA 1002) during privatisation. Topics covered include, but are not limited to asbestos, air policies, land conservation, Loy Yang water supply, news cuttings, occupational health matters and overseas travel reports. This record series was created during January 1994 - February 1999 at the Hazelwood Power Station when a team was given the task of locating and recording files on site relating to the Hazelwood Power Station and registering them using a new recordkeeping system. Until that time, such files had not been stored in a centralised manner. Included in these files are documents dating back to 1956. A majority of the records from this recordkeeping system were appraised as temporary and retained at ENGIE. Prior to transfer to PROV the records were held by ENGIE Hazelwood, the majority owner of the power station at the time of its closure in 2017. Since privatisation, Hazelwood Power has gone through many iterations, eventually becoming ENGIE Hazelwood in 2015.

本档案系列涵盖维多利亚发电公司（Generation Victoria, VA 4078）与黑兹尔伍德电力公司（Hazelwood Power, VA 4075）托管期间，黑兹尔伍德发电厂（Hazelwood Power Station）各部门生成的各类事务记录文件。其中包含私有化进程中从维多利亚州电力委员会（State Electricity Commission of Victoria, VA 1002）获取的档案资料。
本系列涉及的主题涵盖但不限于石棉、大气政策、土地保护、洛伊扬（Loy Yang）供水、新闻剪报、职业健康事务及海外出行报告。
本档案系列于1994年1月至1999年2月期间在黑兹尔伍德发电厂形成，当时工作组受委托负责现场排查、归档与该发电厂相关的档案文件，并采用全新的档案管理系统完成著录工作。在此之前，此类档案从未实现集中存储，本系列中还包含可追溯至1956年的早期文件。
该档案管理系统中的绝大多数档案经鉴定为临时档案，留存于ENGIE集团。在移交至维多利亚州公共档案办公室（PROV）前，这批档案由该发电厂2017年关停时的控股股东ENGIE黑兹尔伍德保管。自私有化进程启动以来，黑兹尔伍德电力公司历经多次架构调整，最终于2015年更名为ENGIE黑兹尔伍德。
