VPRS 19777 General Correspondence Files, Alphanumeric System

This series comprises inward and outward correspondence of the Hazelwood Power Corporation (VA 4075) and includes material acquired from the State Electricity Commission of Victoria (VA 1002) during privatisation. On 31 January 1995, Generation Victoria (VA 4078), the Victorian State body responsible for the generation of power to both Victorian and interstate customers between 1994 and 1995, was reviewed and restructured into five independent generating companies. Hazelwood Power Corporation Pty Ltd comprised the Hazelwood power station and the Morwell brown coal mine. Subjects documented in the correspondence include Generation Victoria's disaggregation, the proposed privatisation of the Hazelwood Power Corporation, the Morwell Open Cut Mine, and land rehabilitation. The files include legacy records dating back to 1954. Documents continued to be added to files beyond when Hazelwood Power Corporation was privatised in 1996. 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.

本档案系列涵盖黑兹尔伍德电力公司（Hazelwood Power Corporation，档案编号VA 4075）的内外往来函件，且包含私有化进程中从维多利亚州电力委员会（State Electricity Commission of Victoria，档案编号VA 1002）征集所得的资料。1995年1月31日，负责1994至1995年间向维多利亚州及跨州客户供电的维多利亚州属机构——维多利亚发电公司（Generation Victoria，档案编号VA 4078）经审议后，被重组为五家独立发电企业。黑兹尔伍德电力有限公司（Hazelwood Power Corporation Pty Ltd）下辖黑兹尔伍德发电厂与莫尔韦尔褐煤矿。该批函件所涉主题包括维多利亚发电公司的拆分、黑兹尔伍德电力公司拟议私有化方案、莫尔韦尔露天矿以及土地复垦工作。该档案卷宗包含可追溯至1954年的历史留存档案。即便在1996年黑兹尔伍德电力公司完成私有化后，相关卷宗仍持续收录新文件。该批档案移交至维多利亚州档案馆（Public Record Office Victoria，简称PROV）前，由该发电厂2017年关停时的控股股东ENGIE黑兹尔伍德（ENGIE Hazelwood）保管。自私有化以来，黑兹尔伍德电力历经多次架构调整，最终于2015年定名为ENGIE黑兹尔伍德。
