Marulan Gas Fired Power Station

Visual renderings now live

We’ve reached an exciting milestone in the Marulan Gas Fired Power Station project—the release of the first visual renderings showing how the proposed facility could look in the local landscape.

Scoping Report released

We submitted the 2025 Marulan Power Station Scoping Report to the NSW Government in August 2025 and are now proceeding with the technical and environmental studies to support a Modification Report.

This is a great opportunity for those curious about how the Marulan project will work, and how similar facilities operate in real life.

Join us in August at Meridian Café

Drop into the Meridian Café at 85 George Street, Marulan. We’d love to chat with you about the project, answer your questions, and hear your thoughts.

Great conversations at the Meridian Cafe - join us July 30

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.
