List of power stations in Queensland

This is a list of active power stations in Queensland, Australia. Candidates for this list must already be commissioned and capable of generating 1 MW or more of electricity. Queensland has a diverse range of power generating types.

Coal fired

These fossil fuel power stations burn coal to power steam turbines that generate some or all of the electricity they produce.

  • Gladstone scheduled for closure in 2035.
  • Tarong scheduled for closure in 2036.
  • Callide B scheduled for closure in 2028.
  • Stanwell scheduled for closure in 2046.

Gas turbine

These gas turbine power stations use gas combustion to generate some or all of the electricity they produce. Combined cycle plants include an open cycle gas turbine, plus a heat recovery steam generator that uses waste heat from the gas turbine to make steam to drive a steam turbine.

Gas (reciprocating)

These power stations use gas combustion in reciprocating engines to generate some or all of the electricity they produce.

Hydroelectric

These hydroelectric power stations use the flow of water to generate some or all of the electricity they produce.

Wind farms

These wind farms use the power of wind to turn wind turbines to generate all of the electricity they produce.

Solar

These power stations convert light into electricity using the photovoltaic effect.

Biomass combustion

These power stations burn biomass (biofuel) to generate some or all of the electricity they produce.

Battery storage
