TRUenergy’s Hallett Power Station is located at Canowie, South Australia near Jamestown and Hallett approximately 210 kilometres north of Adelaide. Built in 2001, Hallett Power Station has an installed capacity of 180MW.

Hallett Power Station consists of 11 highly flexible gas-turbine generators that deliver electricity to the National Electricity Market.  On a typical day, it can provide approximately 5% of South Australia’s electricity needs.

The power station generates electricity by using natural gas to power its eleven turbine units.  Gas is supplied to the station from the Moomba pipeline.  Diesel fuel oil can also be used as a back-up fuel in the event of a gas supply shortfall.  The units are controlled either locally from the Hallett control room or remotely from TRUenergy’s Trading room and Yallourn Power Station.

TRUenergy’s Hallett Power Station employs 7 multi-skilled personnel.
