Zaara Street Power Station

Coal

The Zaara Street Power Station is a key infrastructure asset in Australia's power generation grid, located on the continent of Oceania. Designated as a fossil fuel electricity generation station, the facility features an installed capacity of 0 MW. Its primary operation relies on harnessing coal energy resources to generate bulk electricity. The plant's operating entity is not publicly declared in national utility registries. An exact commissioning date for the installation is not registered in official historical logs. In terms of domestic production capacity within Australia, Zaara Street Power Station occupies the #43 position among all operational coal power plants. Its 0 MW capacity represents a 0.00% share of Australia's total installed coal generating capacity, which currently stands at 42,199 MW. The largest operational coal installation in Australia is the Bayswater with an output of 2,640 MW, making the Zaara Street Power Station approximately 1.0 times smaller by comparison. Across all fuel types and electricity generation technologies country-wide, this facility accounts for 0.0000% of Australia's aggregate generation capacity of 156,619 MW. Based on historical capacity factors characteristic of coal power plants (modeled at 55% for analysis), the facility's expected annual electricity generation is calculated at approximately 0 MWh. Applying domestic consumption statistics where an average household in Australia consumes 4 MWh of electricity annually, this level of production is sufficient to meet the energy demands of roughly 0 homes. By utilizing traditional thermal power processes, the station delivers reliable dispatchable energy to the grid, supporting grid resilience during periods of low renewable resource availability and satisfying industrial base-load demands. The physical site of the station is located at geographic coordinates -32.9254° latitude and 151.7885° longitude. Analysis of local grid infrastructure shows a density of other assets within a 50-kilometer radius. These nearby facilities include Vales Point B (coal, 1,360 MW), Tomago Aluminium Smelter (gas, 810 MW), Colongra (gas, 724 MW), representing a cluster of localized power assets. This geographic placement is vital for reinforcing regional distribution infrastructure and minimizing transmission line losses across this sector of Australia.
