List of power stations in Western Australia

This is a list of active power stations in Western Australia. Candidates for this list must already be commissioned and capable of generating 1 MW or more of electricity.

There are several independent electricity grids in Western Australia; the "Grid" column in the following tables indicates which grid each power station is connected to.

Coal fired

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

Total max. capacity: 1677 MW

Gas turbine

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

Total max. capacity: 5288 MW

Gas (thermal)

These power stations use gas combustion to power steam turbines that generate some or all of the electricity they produce.

Total max. capacity: 274 MW

Gas (reciprocating)

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

Total max. capacity: 108 MW

Hydroelectric

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

Total max. capacity: 32 MW

Wind farms

These wind farm power stations use the power of the wind to generate some or all of the electricity they produce.

Total max. capacity: 1012 MW

Biomass combustion

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

Total max. capacity: 6 MW

Solar photovoltaic

These power stations use a semiconductor device that converts sunlight into electricity.

Total max. capacity: 191 MW
