ASX/Media Release
26 October 2007
Proposals Sought by Origin Energy for Mortlake Power Station
Origin Energy has issued Requests for Proposals to major gas turbine manufacturers for supply of the first 500MW of open cycle equipment for its proposed 1000MW gasfired power station near Mortlake in western Victoria. This is a positive step forward for the proposed development.
The pricing and delivery schedule for construction of the power station and the associated 78km gas pipeline from the Otway Gas plant will then be developed over the coming months. A decision to proceed could be expected towards the middle of 2008, and would be subject to a range of commercial issues, including capital cost, the electricity demand/supply outlook and carbon pricing policy developments.
Such a decision could result in the first stage of the Mortlake Power Station being operational in late 2010.
