The power station will comprise two heavy-duty, open cycle gas turbines (OCGT) and are the latest and most efficient turbines that the world’s best manufacturers can offer for the site.

The OCGTs will operate on natural gas and will be hydrogen-ready. Diesel is available on-site as a backup for the extreme and rare cases where the NSW power grid needs it to keep the lights on. Over the power station’s life, diesel usage is negligible.

It is expected that OCGTs will be capable of initially running on up to 15% hydrogen. With some additional investment, we expect they will be capable of up to 30% hydrogen. The ability to run on hydrogen is dependent on the balance of plant modifications and the availability of green hydrogen.
