Kemerton

Kemerton Gas Fired Peaking Station, near Bunbury, is a peaking power station built specifically to cater for peak electricity demand.

The purpose-built dual-fuel power station offers 310MW at times of peak demand, especially at the height of summer, and a rapid start-up capability.

Its two turbines can burn gas or distillate or a combination of both, providing important fuel flexibility. 

Kemerton Peaking Plant was built by Transfield Services. Verve Energy has a 25-year power purchase agreement with Transfield Services to provide electricity when required.

It was officially opened in November 2005.
