Bluewaters Power Station Expansion

the Bluewaters Power Station Expansion is a proposal by Griffin Energy to add a further two 208 megawatt coal-fired generating unts with a proposed commissioning date of 2012 and 2014. This expansion would be on the same site as the Bluewaters 1 Power Station and the Bluewaters 2 Power Station which are scheduled to be commissioned in 2008 and 2009.

The company states that it "will also ensure the Bluewaters Power Station Expansion project will be capable of adopting carbon capture technology in the future, once this developing technology becomes commercially viable in Western Australia."
