The Tallawarra Power Station is a closed coal fired power station in the Illawarra district of New South Wales, Australia. The station opened in 1954 and reached full operation in 1961. [cite web|work=Wollongong City Library| title=Yallah History|url=http://www.wollongong.nsw.gov.au/library/localinfo/yallah/history.html| accessdate=28 September| accessyear=2007] At its peak, it had a capacity output of 320 megawatts from 6 coal burning units. The station closed in 1989, and stood abandoned by the foreshore of Lake Illawarra. It was progressively demolished to ground level over a ten-year period.

[cite web|work=TRUenergy| title=The Tallawarra Site|url=http://www.truenergy.com.au/Production/Tallawarra/site.xhtml| accessdate=28 September| accessyear=2007] The new station will use many of the former power station's structures, including the cooling system channels from Lake Illawarra.
