Mackay Gas Turbine
The Mackay Gas Turbine is a remote-controlled power generator that is operated for short periods when customer demand for electricity is high. The gas turbine's ability to start quickly is important in ensuring a secure, reliable power supply for distribution to consumers.
It was commissioned in 1975 and recently underwent refurbishment to ensure continued reliable operations.
The Rolls-Royce Olympus 34 MW gas turbine runs on LFO and has black start capability.[1][2]
This power station is now decommissioned and off the National energy market (NEM).
