It burns natural gas in 8 steam turbines to generate up to 1,280MW of electricity. The gas is supplied via the SEAGas pipeline from Victoria and from Moomba in the Cooper Basin.[1]

Construction began in 1963 following passing of a government act vesting the land and authorising construction.[2] and was completed in 1967.
