Inquiry under s46 regarding a proposal to increase the generating capacity of the Pinjar station by a nominal 340MW. This increased capacity would be provided through the installation of: a fourth Frame 9 (nominally llOMW) gas turbine, together with; four waste heat boilers and two 115MW steam turbines with associated infrastructure. This proposal will increase the total potential generating capacity of the Pinjar station from a nominal 575MW (7 times 37MW plus 3 times 105MW) to 915MW (575MW...

The proposal involves the construction and operation of a hydro-electric power generation facility next to the main dam on the Ord River, using facilities established during initial dam construction for such a purpose. When the dam wall was built, two tunnels were built to allow for provision and control of irrigation water, and the possibility of utilising waters from Lake Argyle to generate electricity. The hydro-electric generating station would be built at the downstream "toe" of... Read more...Last updated: August 21, 1991
SECWA proposes to expand the generating capacity of the approved Pinjar gas turbine power station site (eight 37MW units) by approximately 300 megawatts (MW). This represents a doubling in the power generating capacity of the power station. In SECWA's original proposal (approved under Ministerial Statement 61 ) the plant was proposed to be a peaking plant which can operate at times of high demand (1 to 8 hours per day) or in emergencies. In this expansion proposal the new gas turbines are... Read more...Last updated: June 12, 1991
The proposal is to establish a second coal-fired base load power station 8km east-north-east of Collie. The proposal includes the construction of two 300 megawatt power generating units and associated infrastructure that will occupy 388 hectares of land. The proposed site is located on the edge of the Collie Coal Basin which is an area that contains the mineable coal reserves in the Collie region., The report:, An integral part of the environmental impact assessment process includes the need to...
