About the project
EnergyAustralia is progressing the development of the Marulan Gas Fired Power Station (the proposed power station) on land we own, about two hours south-west of Sydney. The Project has been identified for development since 2009 and has been declared Critical State Significant Infrastructure by the NSW Government.
An extension provided in October 2024 by the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) grants the Project additional time to late 2026 for the preparation of an Environmental Impact Assessment for the proposed power station.

Why it’s needed
Gas plays a vital role in the renewable energy transition and a new, modern energy system. Gas fired generation is flexible and can be turned on or offer in a matter of minutes making it a reliable backup for variable renewable generation.
Our proposed power station at Marulan could respond quickly to fluctuations in electricity supply and demand, providing security in supply for large numbers of households and businesses.
The strategic location of our proposed power station at Marulan means energy can be easily and efficiently directed to the major load centre in NSW given the close to the Moomba to Sydney gas pipeline and other existing infrastructure.
