Description
CIPS is Territory Generation's largest power station and the main
source of electricity for the Darwin-Katherine Interconnected
system. The first units were commissioned at CIPS in 1986. CIPS is
a natural gas fired station, with diesel fuel back-up capability.
WPS connects to the Darwin-Katherine grid and consists of two
open cycle gas turbines commissioned in 2008, with a third
commissioned in 2014.
KPS has been operational since 1987. The station contains four
open cycle gas turbines.
RGPS was commissioned in 1973 and remains a source of
electricity for the Alice Springs area. RGPS has been kept
operational to provide more capacity to the Alice Springs system.
OSPS uses the latest dual fuel and gas spark reciprocating
technology. OSPS services the Alice Springs community.
The Sadadeen Valley BESS is a grid-connected modular lithium
iron phosphate battery system which has been in operation since
2018 to support the Alice Springs power system.
TCPS services the Tennant Creek township and surrounding
communities as far as Ali Curung.
YPS services the Ayers Rock Resort and the Yulara township.
The Yulara Energy Transition Initiative will result in a significant
change in the asset base in the near future.
KCPS is the only commercial source of electricity in the
Kings Canyon area, servicing the Kings Canyon Resort and
domestic customers.
