List of power stations in Tasmania

This is a list of active power stations in Tasmania, Australia. Candidates for this list must already be commissioned and capable of generating 1-megawatt (1,300 hp) or more of electricity.

Gas

Thermal gas

These power stations use gas combustion to power steam turbines that generate some or all of the electricity they produce.

Power station	Coordinates	Max. capacity		Turbines	Fuel type	Ref.
		MW	hp
Bell Bay	41°8′31″S 146°54′9″E / 41.14194°S 146.90250°E	240	321,845	2	Natural gas

Gas turbine

These gas turbine power stations use gas combustion to generate some or all of the electricity they produce.

Power station	Coordinates	Max. capacity		Turbines	Fuel type	Combined cycle	Ref.
		MW	hp
Bell Bay	41°8′31″S 146°54′9″E / 41.14194°S 146.90250°E	135	181,038	3	Natural gas	No
Tamar Valley		210	281,615	5	Natural gas	Yes

Note that the above three power stations are in fact the same power station listed upon commissioning after conversion to gas and recommissioning after a turbine upgrade. It has been decommissioned since 2009.

Gas (reciprocating)

These power stations use gas combustion in reciprocating engines to generate some or all of the electricity they produce.

Power station	Coordinates	Max. capacity		Engines	Fuel type	Ref.
