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 4478 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.
In addition to its own assets, Stanwell also sells energy from Collinsville Power Station through an agreement with the station's owners Transfield Services Infrastructure Fund. A coal supply agreement with Wesfarmers Resources' Curragh Mine includes the sharing of revenue from their coal exports.
