Flinders

Flinders Power Station consists of two coal-fired power stations in Port Augusta SA, providing over 30% of SA’s energy together with the Leigh Creek Coalmine and township and railway.

The two power stations are:

Northern Power Station: A 544MW first order base load power station, commissioned in 1985 which is the lowest conventional marginal cost generator in SA; and

Playford Power Station: A 240MW intermediate power station, commissioned in 1963, with a mid life refit and refurbishment completed in 2005. Playford is competitive with the other intermediate conventional plant in SA.
