Channel Island Power Station (CIPS)
|
CIPS commenced formal operations in 1987 and is Territory Generation’s largest power station. It will continue to be the primary source of electricity for the Darwin–Katherine power system. The station also hosts a BESS, and a 23 MW hydrogen-capable gas turbine is being installed and commissioned on site. The Channel Island BESS is a grid-forming modular lithium iron phosphate battery system which has been operational since mid-2025 to support the Darwin–Katherine power system. |
Weddell Power Station (WPS)
|
WPS connects to the DKIS. Two of its gas turbines were commissioned in 2008, with the third commissioned in 2014. |
|
Katherine Power Station (KPS)
|
KPS has been operational since 1987 and functions as a critical infrastructure black station, providing islanding and network voltage support services to the Darwin–Katherine power system. A BESS is planned for the site, building on recent battery deployments in the Darwin–Katherine system. |

Ron Goodin Power Station (RGPS)
|
RGPS was commissioned in 1973. The station has entered standby mode but remains available to provide capacity support for the Alice Springs power system. |
Owen Springs Power Station (OSPS)
|
OSPS was commissioned in 2011 and upgraded in 2018 to service the Alice Springs community. Civil works have commenced on site for a BESS to provide energy‑shifting capability and strengthen system stability. |
Sadadeen Valley
|
The Sadadeen Valley BESS is a grid-connected modular lithium iron phosphate battery system which has been in operation since 2018 to support the Alice Springs power system. It resides within the RGPS site. |

Tennant Creek Power Station (TCPS) |
TCPS was commissioned in 1975 and underwent a significant upgrade in 2017. It services the Tennant Creek township and surrounding communities as far as Ali Curung. |
Yulara Power Station (YPS)
|
YPS has been operational since 1983. It services the Ayers Rock Resort and the Yulara township using diesel fuel operation. |
Kings Canyon Power Station (KCPS)
|
KCPS has been in operation since 2003. It is the only commercial source of electricity in the Kings Canyon area, servicing the Kings Canyon Resort and domestic customers. |
