The Somerset Dam Power Station is a hydro power station at Somerset, South East Queensland, Australia. The plant is part of the Somerset Dam. It has a generating capacity of 4.1 megawatts. The power station is the oldest grid-connected hydro-electric station operating in Queensland.[1]
The 2010–2011 Queensland floods resulted in the station being flooded and needing a $11.6 million restoration.[2] It wasn't until 2019 that the plant began generating electricity again.[3]
