Project Description
Tallawarra Stage B is an expansion of more than 300 MW of the existing Tallawarra A power station.
The peaking power station will be Australia’s first net zero emissions hydrogen- and gas-capable power plant, with direct carbon emissions from the project to be fully offset over its operational life.
Once commissioned, the power plant will be ready to start generating electricity for 150 000 homes within 30 minutes.
EnergyAustralia will also invest in engineering studies on the potential to upgrade Tallawarra B so that it can use more green hydrogen in its fuel mix in the future.
