List of power stations in Tasmania explained

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

Gas

Thermal gas

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

Gas turbine

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

Power station	Coordinates	Max. capacity		Fuel type	Combined cycle	Ref.
MW	hp
Bell Bay	-41.1419°N 146.9025°W	1350NaN0	3	Natural gas	No
Tamar Valley		2100NaN0	5	Natural gas	Yes

Note that the above three power stations are in fact the same power station listed upon commissioning after conversion to gas and recommissioning after a turbine upgrade. It has been decommissioned since 2009.

Gas (reciprocating)

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

Power station	Coordinates	Max. capacity		Fuel type	Ref.
MW	hp
McRobies Gully, South Hobart		10NaN0	1	Landfill gas
Launceston General Hospital, Launceston		20NaN0	1	Natural gas
Jackson Street, Glenorchy		1.60NaN0	1	Landfill gas

Hydroelectric

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