The second unit of the Origin's Mortlake power station has been commissioned (550 MW). The power plant, totalling 1,100 MW, is the largest gas-fired power station in Victoria and represents an investment of $810m, including the associated pipeline.
The Mortlake Power Station development also included the construction of an 83 km underground natural gas transmission pipeline. Mortlake is powered by natural gas sourced from Origin's gas reserves in the Port Campbell area and processed at Origin's Otway Gas Plant.
The first of Mortlake's two units was successfully completed in January 2012.
