Mt Piper Power Station

Mt Piper Power Station owned by Delta Electricity in the Central West region of New South Wales comprises two 660 megawatt coal-fired generating units. "When both generating units are operating at full load, approximately 14,000 tonnes of coal are consumed daily, leaving some 3,500 tonnes of ash to be disposed of each day," Delta Electricity's website states.

Coal is supplied from Centennial Coal's Angus Place Colliery which is approximately 5km to the east of the power station.
