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.
