Overview
Kwinana Power Station needed support for a large-scale planned outage and sought to improve outcomes compared with previous events. Key priorities included:
GE Vernova delivered an integrated outage services model that combined:
This approach enabled improved coordination, task sequencing, and real-time visibility across all outage activities.
The outage demonstrated GE Vernova’s capability to manage complex, multi-discipline outages at scale, while maintaining enhanced safety and execution standards.
Kwinana Power Station is a 328 MW combined-cycle gas-fired facility located 30 km (~19 miles) south of Perth, Australia. Using low-emission technologies and advanced water-recycling systems, it contributes to electricity generation producing lower emissions and supports grid stability in the Southwest Interconnected System (SWIS), supplying approximately 10% of Western Australia’s electricity demand.
The outage involved over 300 personnel working six days a week during the assessment phase and was the first outage and first CSA at Kwinana Power Station in Western Australia since we regained NewGen Power Company Pty. Ltd. as a customer.
When we have an outage of this magnitude safety and quality come first, having a good partner with GE Vernova certainly helps us achieve that.
