Overview
Pelican Point Power Station is a combined cycle, 480MW gas-fired power generation
facility located on reclaimed land adjacent the Port River. The power station produces
25 per cent of South Australia’s needs.
Pelican Point has an energy efficiency of more than 50 per cent, compared with older
power stations which are at less than 35 per cent. The combined-cycle system also
greatly reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
Climate Change
Risks
Potential cessation of operations due to actual or preparation for sea level rise /
tidal. Delays in restarting generation will occur.
Destructive winds may increase salt aerosols deposits on electricity conductors,
leading to flashovers and corrosion.
Reduced thermal efficiency. Increases in cooling water temperature may reduce
the efficiency of the energy production cycle.
Variations or more pronounced demand, impacting on supply operations.
Adaptation Planning
No actions specific to climate change adaptation.
