The newest power station in Delta's generating portfolio, the Colongra Gas Power Station, was Highly Commended in the 2010 Sydney Division Engineering Excellence Awards, in the category of Project Management. The Engineering Excellence Awards 2010 recognise the expertise of individuals and engineering organisations.
Opened on 21 December, 2009 by Minister for Energy, The Hon. John Robertson, the 667 MW Colongra plant is based on four flexible and low emission dual fuel gas turbines in open cycle configuration. Gas turbine generation produces 40% less greenhouse gas emissions than equivalent coal fired generation. It starts up quickly at short notice to supply electricity during times of high demand.
International engineering firm Alstom designed and built the gas turbine power plant Alstom have been awarded five major gas turbine projects in Australia since 2005.

Information on pipeline
The natural gas to fuel the turbines is supplied via a new underground pipeline which connects to the existing Sydney-Newcastle pipeline. Jemena is the company which constructed and operates the pipeline. For more information go to Jemena - Colongra pipeline.
