Braemar Power Station is a complex of natural gas and coal seam gas fired combined-cycle power stations in Kogan, Western Downs Region, Queensland, Australia. It is near Dalby in the Darling Downs region.

Braemar-1

Braemar-1 is a 502 MW open-cycle natural gas turbine plant located 35 kilometres (22 mi) south west of Dalby, adjacent to the Kogan Creek Power Station, Queensland – New South Wales high voltage transmission interconnector and Powerlink 320/274 kV substation.^[1]^[2] It is supplied from the Tipton West coal seam gas fields, with the 150-kilometre (93 mi) pipeline between Condamine and Braemar, which is used exclusively to supply the Braemar Power Station.^[1]^[3]

The power station was developed by ERM Power and was built by Alstom.^[2]^[4] It is equipped by three Alstom's 150 MW GT13E2 gas turbines.^[4] The power station cost A$545 million. It was completed in 2006 and is anticipated to operate until 2036. ERM Power sold the plant to Alinta Energy in 2008.^[2]

Braemar-2

Braemar-2 is a 450 MW open-cycle natural gas turbine plant adjacent to the Braemar-1 power station. The power station was developed by ERM Power and was built by Bilfinger.^[4]^[5] It supplies peak demand power and it is equipped by three Siemens's 150 MW SGT5-2000E gas turbines.^[6] The power station cost A$546 million.^[5]^[7] Gas for this power station is sourced from the Stratheden field at Daandine.^[8]

Braemar-2 began operating on 12 June 2009 and was officially opened on 25 August 2009.^[5]^[6]^[7] It is Queensland's second-largest gas-fired power station.^[6]^[7] Arrow Energy acquired 50% of the station in 2008 and on 4 July 2011, it took full control of Braemar-2.^[5]^[7]^[9]

Braemar-3

Braemer 3 is a planned 550 MW power station adjacent to the existing stations. It was expected to be operational by 2015 and forecast to cost $530 million to build.^[10]^[11] However the rapid increase in household solar generation has reduced the electricity demand on the grid, consequently the Braemar-3 unit was not profitable and has not been developed.^{[citation needed]}

The recent construction of lower cost Darling Downs Solar Farm and Coopers Gap Wind Farm nearby suggests Breamar-3 is unlikely to be ever built.^{[citation needed]}

Braemar-4

ERM Power is considering the development of Braemer 4, indicating it will proceed with its development when market conditions improve.^[10] As with Braemar 3, the rapid increase in renewable electricity generation has meant that Braemar 4 is uneconomic.^{[citation needed]}
