Ladbroke Grove Power Station
South Australia, Australia
The 2721st largest power station in the world
Ladbroke Grove Power Station is a gas-fired power station in the locality of Monbulla near Penola in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia. It was built by Boral Limited in 2000. It is now owned by Origin Energy. The power station was originally built with a generating capacity of 40 MW, and now has a generating capacity of 80 MW. It is used as a peaking power plant. Ladbroke Grove power station was built next to the Katnook gas processing plant, which processed gas extracted from the Katnook Gas Field in the western Otway Basin. Originally, Ladbroke Grove used gas processed next door. When the wells in the field were becoming depleted, a branch from the SEAGas pipeline was built to the Katnook plant, and gas from that pipeline, drawn from further east in the Otway Basin, now fuels the power station.
