Integrated Darling Downs Power Station projectAt 630 MW the Darling Downs combined cycle power station willbe the largest CCGT on the NEM…25• This will be one of the lowest cost powerstations in the National Electricity Market• The power station has a low life cycle cost,which includes construction and long-termmaintenance costs• 630MW combined cycle power station withthree Frame 9E gas turbines with a capacity of120MW each, three boilers and a steamturbine of 270 MW capacity• Construction contract worth $780 million• Will operate between baseload tointermediate power station depending onpower market requirements• It will be an air-cooled power station, usingthree per cent of the water a conventionalwater cooled coal-fired power station woulduse, or about 200ML versus 8000ML a year• It will emit about half the greenhouse gasemissions that a coal-fired power station usingcurrent technology would create. This willsave 2.5 million tonnes of greenhouse gases ayear - the equivalent of taking 600,000 cars ayear off the road
