UGL was contracted by Aurora Energy to help reduce Tasmania's reliance on brown coal generated electricity and hydro-electric power stations at the Tamar Valley Power Station in Australia. Aurora Energy needed a solution that could lower production risks during times of drought. They needed a gas-fired power station which could provide for an alternative supply of energy to conform to the policies set in place by the Tasmanian government.
The UGL Solution
By implementing an alternative supply source, UGL paired highly efficient generation units as a cost effective and sustainable solution. With over 250 personnel handling the project, the UGL team was able to complete the transformation on time with superb safety, industrial and environmental records. The turnkey solution comprised of three generation units that include a 210 MW Mitsubishi combined cycle unit, a Rolls Royce Trent 60MW gas turbine and three 40 MW Pratt and Whitney gas turbines with open cycle configurations.
This solution gives Tasmania access to a major source of power and new operation standards to enhance performance. UGL was able to complete the project under budget and save Aurora Energy more money with quicker access to a new alternative power supply. Additionally, the project was able to benefit the local economy by providing a large amount of jobs with over 6,000,000 hours of labor. Also, the workforce was locally based, increasing valuable new skills and experiences in the region.
UGL is proud to have completed this project and it's adds to the increasing portfolio of power generation projects. The Tamar Valley Power Station now represents 14% of the regions power generation which is achieved by the Tasmanian Gas Pipeline.
