AGL Energy has committed A$185 million to buy four gas turbines from Siemens for its first power station in Western Australia.

The turbines will be for the 176 MW Kwinana Swift Gas 2 project, which is scheduled to supply peaking power capacity from October 2027. The Kwinana power plant is aligned with the objective of the Western Australian government to decommission all state-owned coal-fired power plants by 2030.

AGL said that the Kwinana Swift Gas 2 plant will provide backup power during periods of high demand and contribute to the overall security of the Western Australian electricity network.
