Bayswater Power Station

Bayswater Power Station is located on the Hunter River near Muswellbrook, in the Hunter Valley, New South Wales, Australia. It is coal powered with four steam driven turbo generators with a combined capacity of 2,640MW of electricity. Much of the coal is supplied by overland conveyors from mines it shares with the nearby Liddell Power Station.

Bayswater draws its cooling water from the Hunter River under water entitlements negotiated with the Government of New South Wales. The Barnard River Scheme also allows Bayswater and Liddell to transfer water from the upper Manning River catchment into the Hunter River for their use.

The four generating units were completed progressively over 1985 and 1986.
