Dry Creek Power Station is a power station at Dry Creek in the northern suburbs of Adelaide, South Australia. It is owned and operated by Synergen Power, a joint venture of Engie and Mitsui. The power station has three open cycle gas turbines, each rated at 52MW. [4] It was commissioned in 1973–1974 by the Electricity Trust of South Australia. [1]
As well as peaking electricity generation, the power station also provides ancillary services to support electricity grid stability. [5] Dry Creek Power Station was established around 1978.
