Discover why Western Downs is the energy capital of Australia.

The Darling Downs Power Station in Kogan is a 644MW gas-fired combined cycle power plant, powered by three 9E gas turbines and a steam turbine. Natural gas is sourced from the coal seam gas (CSG) reserves situated in the Roma and Chinchilla regions. A 205km long domestic gas pipeline connects the CGS fields and the power station.
