Peak demand in NSW is growing much faster than average demand. Gas turbine plant is able to fire up quickly at peak demand times such as very hot days or cold nights. Peaking plant can be converted to base load plant should the need arise.
The proposal
Delta Electricity has been granted approval to build a 300 MW gas-fired power facility, and associated infrastructure, at Bamarang, near Nowra. This can be used as a peaking plant.
Delta is now seeking approval for stage two of the project, which was previously granted concept approval. Approval will enable the facility to be constructed as a 400 MW base-load plant.
This gas turbine facility will create electricity from natural gas and help to meet future electricity needs in NSW.
