The Mackay Gas Turbine was a remote-controlled power generator that was owned and operated by Stanwell Corporation Ltd. for short periods when customer demand for electricity was high. The gas turbine's ability to start quickly played a role in ensuring a secure, reliable power supply for distribution to consumers.
It was commissioned in 1975, undergoing refurbishment to ensure continued reliable operations in 2014.
The Rolls-Royce Olympus 34 MW gas turbine ran on LFO and had black start capability.[1][2]
This power station was decommissioned in April 2021, due to it operating so infrequently in its last years of life, and is now off the National Electricity Market (NEM).
