Bell Bay Power Station, Tasmania
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bell Bay Power Station is located on Bell Bay, Tasmania, Australia. It has two 120 MW gas fired steam turbines and three 35 MW gas turbines, giving a total capacity of 345 MW of electricity.
Bell Bay was commissioned in 1971 with a single 120 MW oil-fired steam turbine, followed in 1974 with a second. In 2003, these were converted to natural gas when a pipeline from Victoria to Tasmania was established. Three 35 MW gas turbines were added in 2006.
Bell Bay is owned and operated by Hydro Tasmania via wholly owned subsidiary companies.
