All power stations are shown by default. You can filter by type, status and capacity using the buttons below. Filtered results will show on the map in a list at the bottom of this panel.

Click on the power station name in the result list and the map will zoom onto the location of the power station. The details tab provides more information on each project and a link to external sources of information.

Type of data included

Power generating facilities on this map are generally limited to those of 5 MW or greater capacity.

Existing power stations include information about fuel type, size (MW), ownership, commissioned date and data source. For remote/isolated areas, only major generating facilities have been included.

The map also displays new/proposed power generating facilities. Inclusion of projects in this map should not be interpreted to mean projects have in any way been endorsed by the Queensland Government. For transparency and completeness, projects at all stages of development are included in the map if they have been publicly announced by project developers. It is important to note that many publicly announced projects may not proceed to construction.

A new project typically progresses through the following stages:

• Early feasibility - a project has been publicly announced but has not yet obtained the necessary development approvals or finance to proceed. Many projects at early feasibility stage will not progress further.
• Development approval – a project has obtained the necessary local, state and federal development approvals but has not yet obtained finance to proceed further. Progression is still uncertain.
• Financial close – this is a major milestone. Once a project raises the necessary finance and has development approval, the project is considered to be committed and has a high chance of progressing to construction and operation.
• Under construction – projects typically progress quickly to construction stage once they have achieved financial close.
• Operational – once a project starts exporting energy to the grid it is considered to be operational.

The data has been compiled by Queensland Treasury from a range of public sources, including public notification of development applications on local government authorities’ websites.

Positional accuracy

Most latitudes and longitudes of existing power stations were determined using Google Earth ™ geospatial information. Where two or more power stations exist at the same location, they have been deliberately separated to prevent the points plotting on top of one another. The positions of proposed power generating facilities may not be accurate and mostly represent the general locality of the proposed facility.
