Braemar Power Station is a complex of natural gas and coal seam gas fired combined-cycle power stations near Dalby in the Darling Downs region of Queensland, Australia.
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 Power Link 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 Alstom.[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][7][6] It is Queensland's second-largest gas-fired power station.[7][6] 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 is expected to by operational be 2015 and cost $530 million to build.[10][11] The final investment decision will be made in 2013.
Braemar-4
ERM Power is considering the development of Braemer 4, indicating it will proceed with its development when market conditions improve.[10]
