Project Description
The Shaw River Power Station Project comprises a nominal 1500MW gas-fired power station together with a high-pressure gas pipeline. The power station would use combined cycle turbine technology to provide intermediate and base load power to the national electricity grid. The power station site is a farming property adjoining the Moorabool to Portland 500 kV transmission line near the township of Orford in Moyne Shire.
The project requires the construction of a high-pressure gas pipeline from the power station site to connect with the South West Pipeline near the Otway gas plant at Port Campbell. The project may require a new water supply pipeline from the Port Fairy water reclamation plant to the power station site.
