Taking its name from an Aboriginal word meaning Big Water, Kareeya Hydro has been providing clean, efficient electricity to Queenslanders since 1957. The station's ability to start up quickly means it plays an important role in ensuring a secure, reliable power supply.
On 21 September 2007, Kareeya Hydro celebrated 50 years of operation. The hydro's major milestones are recorded in a commemorative book, aptly titled Big Water.
