Australia’s most environmentally friendly coal-fired power plant

With 750-MW electric power, Kogan Creek is Australia’s biggest generating unit of a coal-fired power plant. Situated near Chinchilla, Queensland, it also belongs to the most efficient generating units in Australia. The plant meets the strictest environmental protection requirements set by the Australian authorities and the World Bank. For example, it consumes as much as 90% less water than do comparable conventional power plants. Equipped with state-of-the-art steam power plant technology, the plant will cover the region's growing demand for electricity without harming the environment. The order was placed by CS Energy, Queensland's largest government-owned energy company.
