Jeeralang Power Station is a gas turbine power station with a capacity of Script error: No such module "convert". near Morwell, Victoria, Australia. The station is a peaking facility which is used only during periods of peak demand, and is also used as a black start facility to restore power to the grid in the event of major system failure. As a result, the actual capacity factor of the station is less than 5%.[1] The power station was built by the State Electricity Commission of Victoria in response to the scaling back of Newport D power station from Script error: No such module "convert". to Script error: No such module "convert".,[2] as a result of community concerns and union bans. Jeeralang consists of seven gas turbines configured to operate in single cycle mode.

Jeeralang A was built between 1977 and 1979 and consists of four Siemens Industries V93.1 gas turbines with a combined capacity of Script error: No such module "convert"..

Jeeralang B was built between 1978 and 1980 and consists of three Alstom Atlantique MS-9001 gas turbines with a combined capacity of Script error: No such module "convert"..[3]

The power station is currently operated by Ecogen Energy and was purchased by EnergyAustralia in April 2018.[4]

The 350 MW / 1,400 MWh Wooreen grid battery is being built at the site for 2027.[5][6]
