About
Jeeralang Power Station is a gas turbine power station with a capacity of 460 megawatts near Morwell, Victoria, Australia. The station is a peaking facility which is used only during periods of peak demand, and is also used as a black start facility to restore power to the grid in the event of major system failure. As a result, the actual capacity factor of the station is less than 5%. The power station was built by the State Electricity Commission of Victoria in response to the scaling back of Newport D power station from 1,000 megawatts to 500 megawatts, as a result of community concerns and union bans. Jeeralang consists of seven gas turbines configured to operate in single cycle mode.
Jeeralang A was built between 1977 and 1979 and consists of four Siemens Industries V93.1 gas turbines with a combined capacity of 220 megawatts.
