List of power stations in Western AustraliaThis is a list of active power stations in Western Australia. Candidates for this list must already be commissioned and capable of generating 1 MW or more of electricity. There are several independent electricity grids in Western Australia; the "Grid" column in the following tables indicates which grid each power station is connected to. Coal firedThese fossil fuel power stations burn coal to power steam turbines that generate some or all of the electricity they produce. Total max. capacity: 1677 MW
Gas turbineThese gas turbine power stations use gas combustion to generate some or all of the electricity they produce. Total max. capacity: 5288 MW
Gas (thermal)These power stations use gas combustion to power steam turbines that generate some or all of the electricity they produce. Total max. capacity: 274 MW
Gas (reciprocating)These power stations use gas combustion in reciprocating engines to generate some or all of the electricity they produce. Total max. capacity: 108 MW
HydroelectricThese hydroelectric power stations use the flow of water to generate some or all of the electricity they produce. Total max. capacity: 32 MW
Wind farmsThese wind farm power stations use the power of the wind to generate some or all of the electricity they produce. Total max. capacity: 1012 MW
Biomass combustionThese power stations burn biomass (biofuel) to generate some or all of the electricity they produce. Total max. capacity: 6 MW
Solar photovoltaicThese power stations use a semiconductor device that converts sunlight into electricity. Total max. capacity: 191 MW
