Oakey Power Station

The Oakey Power Station is a 282 MW power station located at Oakey on the Darling Downs in southern Queensland, adjacent to the Roma to Brisbane Pipeline. The station is an open-cycle, dual liquid/gas-fired power station that typically operates during times of peak electricity demand when Queensland's power needs are greatest. Shell Energy Australia led the development of Oakey with commissioning occurring safely and on time in December 1999. Shell Energy Australia owns 100% of Oakey and also operates and financially manages the power station.
