Berrimah Power Station is a kerosene-fuelled power station in Berrimah, an industrial suburb of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia. It is owned by the government-owned Power and Water Corporation, and generates electricity only on an emergency and standby basis. The Berrimah Power Station was built and commissioned in 1979 after a number of faults with the Stokes Hill Power Station.[1][2] Originally, it had 30MW capacity (3 × 10MW) but as of February 2012[update], only one unit is still operational, with the other two having been decommissioned.[3][needs update]
