This is a list of active power stations in Tasmania, Australia. Candidates for this list must already be commissioned and capable of generating or more of electricity.
Gas
Gas turbine These gas turbine power stations use gas combustion to generate some or all of the electricity they produce.
Power station Coordinates Max. capacity Turbines Fuel type Combined cycle Ref. MW hp Tamar Valley 5 Natural gas Yes
Note that the above three power stations are in fact the same power station listed upon commissioning after conversion to gas and recommissioning after a turbine upgrade. It has been decommissioned since 2009.
Gas (reciprocating) These power stations use gas combustion in reciprocating engines to generate some or all of the electricity they produce.
