Eraring Power Station

New South Wales, Australia

The 204th largest power station in the world

2.88 GW · Capacity

Eraring Power Station is a coal-fired power station consisting of four 720 MW Toshiba steam-driven turbo-alternators for a combined capacity of 2,880 MW. The station is located near the township of Dora Creek, on the western shore of Lake Macquarie, New South Wales, Australia and is owned and operated by Origin Energy. It is Australia's largest power station. The plant has two smokestacks rising 200 m (656 ft) in height. It was scheduled for closure by mid-2025, after a failed attempt to sell the loss making power station back to the state government but had its life extended twice, now commissioned until April 2029.
