Capabilites to power Western Australian businesses using the best applicable technology. |

Griffin Energy is committed to sustainability and minimising greenhouse gas emissions in order to provide a sustainable future for the state’s energy supply.
Bluewaters Power Station will be the first privately owned, coal fired power station in Western Australia and a key contributor to Western Australia’s energy mix.
The plant will be a base load power station using sub critical technology to generate electricity to a capacity of 416 Megawatts. Bluewaters Power Station will deliver a range of real benefits to Western Australia and the South West community.
The power station will use a high efficiency combustion process and employ emission control technology to reduce its greenhouse effects. While emissions cannot be entirely eliminated, they will be continuously monitored and kept well within the regulatory limits, and will be in the lowest quartile in Western Australia for coal fired power stations.
The project is expected to generate 600 jobs during the construction phase and 50 new positions once operational.
