Muja Power Station, Western Australia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Muja Power Station is a power station 22km east of Collie, Western Australia. It has eight coal powered steam turbines that together generate a total capacity of 854 MW of electricity. The coal is mined in the nearby Collie Sub-basin.
The station was commissioned on 21 April 1966. It has two 200 MW units and two 227 MW units (Stage C,D). The four smallest and least efficient units, Stages A and B, were closed in April 2007.
According to the National Pollutant Inventory (NPI), Muja Power Station is one of the biggest emitters of air pollution in Australia, including high emissions of beryllium, fluoride and particulate matter. This is based on data gathered in the 2006-2007 reporting year. With the closure of the oldest and least efficient units it is likely that air emissions have dropped significantly.
