Pinjarra
Under its contractual arrangements with Alcoa, the 285MW gas fuelled Pinjarra Power Station sells steam to Alcoa for use in its refinery.
Additionally, the electricity that is generated is sold by Alinta to contracted customers or into the WEM.
Given Alcoa’s ongoing requirements for steam, the Pinjarra Power Station operates as a base load power station.
During FY2010 the units performed at availability levels of approximately 94%.
Pinjarra completed a major inspection as well as a minor combustion inspection during the year. Pinjarra maintained its excellent safety record, remaining lost time injury free.
