Barker Inlet Power Station is a proposed power station in South Australia. It was announced on 7 June 2017 by AGL Energy to replace part of its aging Torrens Island Power Station and would be built alongside the existing station on Torrens Island in the northwestern suburbs of Adelaide.[1] Construction was expected to start in the third quarter of 2017, with commissioning in the first quarter of 2019.[2]
The application for Development Approval to build the new power station as a replacement for Torrens Island A was submitted on 3 October 2017 and published for public comment on 8 November 2017. The application is for two stages, each consisting of 12 reciprocating engines. Each stage is proposed to generate 210MW for a total of 420MW.[3]
