Berrimah Power Station is located in Berrimah, an industrial suburb of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.
The Berrimah power station was built and commissioned in 1979 after a number of faults with the Stokes Hill power station.[1][2]
Its purpose is and has always been for emergency and standby needs. It is fuelled by kerosene. Originally, it had 30MW capacity (3 x 10MW) but as of February 2012, only one unit is still operational, with the other two having been decommissioned.[3]
