Stanwell Corporation Limited is Queensland's largest power generator with the capacity to supply more than 45 per cent of the state's peak power needs.
Following a restructure of the Queensland Government-owned generators, Stanwell's existing portfolio was strengthened from 1 July 2011 with the addition of Tarong and Tarong North power stations and Meandu Mine in the South Burnett region (transferred from Tarong Energy), Swanbank B and Swanbank E power stations near Ipswich, and Mica Creek Power Station in north-west Queensland (transferred from CS Energy).
With almost 1000 employees; a combined generating capacity of more than 4500 megawatts; gas, hydro and coal-fired plant; and assets located across the length and breadth of the state, Stanwell is well placed to provide efficient and competitive power to Queenslanders well into the future.
A coal supply agreement with Wesfarmers Resources' Curragh Mine includes the sharing of revenue from their coal exports.
