Aurora Energy's Tamar Valley gas station is a proposed $230 million natural gas power station to be constructed in the Tamar Valley in northern Tasmania. The Tasmanian Government has allowed Aurora Energy to enter into long term energy supply agreement with Alinta. Construction of the 200 megawatt (MW) power plant is expected to be complete mid 2009.

In September 2008 the Tasmanian government via Aurora Energy acquired the construction project from the then owner Babcock & Brown Power (who had earlier purchased Alinta Energy generation assets) Aurora set up a fully owned subsidiary company "AETV Power" to complete and operate the power station assets.
