Tarong North Power Station, Queensland

Tarong North Power Station, Queensland

Tarong North Power Station is a 445 megawatt coal fired power station on the same site as Tarong Power Station in the South Burnett. The Queensland Government commissioned the construction of the power station in November 1999. [ [http://www.infolink.com.au/articles/58/0C00AC58.aspx Power station runs on time] by Wal Baker. 12 February 2002. Retrieved on 31 May 2007.]

The plant is based on an energy efficient supercritical boiler design. Emission particles at the power station are reduced by bag filter technology.

The power station is owned by a 50/50 joint venture between Tarong Energy and TM Energy. [ [http://www.tarongenergy.com.au/?P=11 Tarong North Power Station] . Retrieved on 31 May 2007.]

Tarong North Power Station sources water for cooling from Wivenhoe Dam. From the 10 April 2007, a reduced volume of water supplied by SEQ Water from the dam, resulted in a 40% reduction in water use. The Western Corridor Recycled Water Project is expected to deliver water to the power station in mid 2008.
