Cockburn Power Station (CKB) is a power station in Cockburn, Western Australia. The station was commissioned by Western Power Corporation in 2003 and is immediately south of the older Kwinana Power Station. It has a 160 MW natural gas powered Alstom GT13E2 gas turbine which provides steam to an 80 MW steam turbine that together generate a total 240 MW of electricity.[1] It was the first combined cycle gas turbine power station in Western Australia.[2] It came under the control of Verve Energy in 2006 when Western Power was split, and since 2014 has been under control of Synergy.[3]
