Australian electricity retailer Origin Energy Limited (Origin) will dispatch the first of two units at its Mortlake power station into the Victorian electricity market.
Located near Mortlake in South-western Victoria, the project is a 550MW gas-fired power station.
The power station includes two gas turbines and will help to meet the growing demand for peak electricity in eastern Australia.
Completion of Mortlake power station second unit has been delayed, so an inspection can be conducted of the generator following a switch yard fault that occurred during the final stages of the unit's commissioning.
This inspection is scheduled to be conducted during the March Quarter.
The power station has been designed to enable its future conversion to a highly efficient combined cycle plant.
In addition, the project also involved construction of an 83km underground natural gas transmission pipeline.
The power station will be powered by natural gas sourced from Origin's portfolio of gas supply arrangements in the Otway area, with direct access to gas from the Otway Gas Plant and gas storage at Iona.
Furthermore, Origin has the option to expand the capacity of the power station in the future.
