Fisher Power Station

Fisher Power Station is a hydroelectric power station on the Mersey Forth catchment in Tasmania. It has one Pelton turbine, with a generating capacity of 43.2 MW of electricity. It was commissioned in 1973. The power station is fed by the waters of Lake Mackenzie, which is in turn fed by a dam on the Fisher River, located in the Western Tiers. Rather than being fed directly, the water comes via a tunnel and pipeline (with a drop of 650m). The discharge then flows 4 km before reaching Lake Parangana and then flowing into another dam and power station.
