Collie Power Station
Template:Short description Template:Use Australian English Template:Use dmy dates Script error: No such module "Portal". Template:Infobox power station Collie Power Station is a power station in Collie, Western Australia. It is coal powered with one steam turbine that generates a total capacity of 300 megawatts of electricity. The coal is mined locally[1] from the Collie Sub-basin and is transported to the power plant by overland conveyor. In June 2022, the Government of Western Australia announced that Synergy would close Collie Power Station by 2027.[2]
Built by the Clough Group, the station was commissioned in 1999 with a single 300 megawatts steam turbine.[3][4] Power generated by the station supplies the south-west of Australia through the South West Interconnected System (SWIS) operated by Western Power.[4][5]
In the financial year of 2008/2009, the station consumed approximately Script error: No such module "convert". of coal. Carbon Monitoring for Action estimates that, in 2009, Collie Power Station emitted Script error: No such module "convert". of CO2 to generate Script error: No such module "convert". of electricity.[6]
In household consumer terms, this equates to Script error: No such module "convert". of CO2 emitted for each one kilowatt-hour (kWh), or Script error: No such module "convert"., of electricity produced and fed into the electricity grid.[6] That is, Collie Power Station emits slightly less CO2 per kilowatt-hour of electricity produced than nearby closing Muja Power Station (Script error: No such module "convert".) but more than also nearby Bluewaters Power Station (Script error: No such module "convert".) based on estimates for the same year.[6]
Two grid batteries are being built at the site; a 219 MW / 877 MWh (4-hour) to reduce the solar duck curve,[7] and a 500 MW / 2000 MWh (4-hour).[8]
