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.
