Northern

Northern Power Station was located at Port Paterson in the Australian state of South Australia about 6 kilometres south of Port Augusta. It was coal powered with two 260 MW steam turbines that generated a total of 520 MW of electricity. It was operated and maintained by Alinta Energy and was commissioned in 1985. The plant ceased electricity production in May 2016 and was decommissioned and demolished over the following few years. Also closed at that time were the nearby Playford B Power Station, and the Leigh Creek coal mine, 280 km to the north, that supplied them both with fuel.
