Information

We continue to invest in energy technologies that advance the responsible use of our resources. As part of TransAlta’s transition to clean electricty, we intend to convert up to seven of our coal-fired generating units to natural gas at the Keephills and Sundance power plants. As a leader in clean energy, TransAlta is planning to make this transition by converting the fuel source for its existing generators, allowing the plants to provide clean, reliable and affordable electricity.
TransAlta Energy (Australia) Pty Ltd20+ years - and just getting started As one of WA's largest independent power producers, we know how to meet today's power needs while advancing the cleaner energy technologies of tomorrow. In the mid-1990's TransAlta started operations in the Goldfields, supporting gold and nickel operations from our Parkeston and Southern Cross facilities and we have been safely and reliably supporting Australia’s resource industry ever since. In 2014, TransAlta and Horizon Power entered a long-term supply contract, resulting in TransAlta’s newest addition to the fleet; the 150 MW South Hedland Power Station reaching commercial operation in 2017. South Hedland Power Station actively supports the iron ore industry by supplying efficient, reliable gas generation to the region. We now provide generation to customers across Western Australia, from facilities connected to the South West Interconnected System (SWIS), the North West Interconnected System (NWIS) and off-grid load customers. If we say it, we can do it Our team works hands on helping customers manage their electricity costs, security of supply and environmental footprint.
