Gas

Thermal gas

These power stations use gas combustion to power steam turbines that generate some or all of the

they produce.

Gas turbine

These gas turbine power stations use gas combustion to generate some or all of the electricity they produce. 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.

Hydroelectric
