Kogan Creek Power Station is one of Australia’s most efficient and technically advanced coal-fired power stations. Commissioned in 2007, it contains the largest single generating unit in Australia and has one of the lowest environmental impacts of any coal-fired power station nationwide.
As a supercritical station Kogan Creek’s boiler operates at a much higher pressure and temperature than conventional coal-fired power stations. This means it converts each unit of fuel into more energy – it’s a very efficient way to produce electricity.
Kogan Creek Power Station is also very water efficient, because it uses dry cooling technology and sources the limited water it does require from bores.
Located in the Western Downs near Chinchilla in Queensland, Kogan Creek Power Station can generate up to 750 megawatts of baseload electricity – enough to power one million Australian homes.
CS Energy also owns the neighbouring Kogan Creek Mine, which supplies black coal to Kogan Creek Power Station via a four kilometre overland conveyor belt and is operated by Golding Contractors. Kogan Creek Mine supplies more than two million tonnes of coal to the power station each year.
KOGAN CLEAN ENERGY HUB
CS Energy is adding clean energy hubs to our Kogan Creek and Callide sites to to deliver the energy mix needed to reliably transition to renewable energy and provide opportunities for our workforce to reskill.
