Package Summary (Turbine & Generator Installation)
The Northwest Combined Cycle Gas Turbine (CCGT) Power Station is a large-scale conventional energy project designed to supply 1,200 MW of stable, base-load electricity to Western Australia’s industrial and regional grid. By using advanced combined-cycle technology, the facility captures waste heat from gas turbines to power a steam turbine, achieving fuel efficiencies of up to 60% and significantly reducing emissions compared to coal-fired plants.
While future packages will complete supporting systems and grid integration, Package 1 delivers the core power generation units — the beating heart of the station’s capacity. This stage is essential for securing early operational capability and revenue from long-term power purchase agreements with mining, manufacturing, and utility clients.
About Package 1
Package 1 covers the procurement, delivery, installation, and commissioning of the plant’s main generation assets:
- Gas Turbines (x2) – High-efficiency industrial gas turbines engineered for fuel optimisation and low-emission output.
- Steam Turbine (x1) – Heat recovery integration enabling combined-cycle performance for maximum energy yield.
- Generator Units – Coupled with turbines, equipped with vibration monitoring and control systems for operational reliability.
- Heavy-Lift Logistics – Specialised transport and rigging from manufacturer to site, including oversized load handling.
- On-Site Installation & Alignment – Precision assembly, mechanical alignment, and integration into auxiliary systems.
- Commissioning & Testing – Comprehensive performance trials, safety certification, and grid-readiness verification.

Why Package 1 is Strategic
- Foundation of the Project – Without the turbines and generators, no power can be produced or sold.
- Immediate Revenue Activation – Enables early electricity sales to contracted industrial clients.
- Proven Technology – Combined-cycle gas plants are globally recognised for efficiency, reliability, and scalability.
- Long Asset Life – Turbines and generators have 25+ year operational lifespans with proper maintenance, ensuring stable long-term returns.
- High Barrier to Entry – The scale, cost, and complexity of turbine installation make this stage accessible only to major players, protecting competitive advantage.
