Yallourn Power Station was a complex of six brown coal fuelled power stations built progressively from the 1920s to the 1960s. Located in Victoria’s Latrobe Valley the complex was situated beside the Latrobe River with the company town of Yallourn located to the south west. Today only the 1450 MW Yallourn W plant remains the third largest power station in Victoria which supplies 22% of state’s electricity and 8% of National Electricity Market needs.
