Keralup Energy Hub

Overview

APA KPS Pty Ltd propose to construct thermal power generation facilities on Lot 9501 and Lot 9503, Keralup (City of Rockingham and Shire of Murray) located approximately 53 kilometres south of Perth. 

The proposal will initially include the construction and operation of a temporary 210 megawatt (MW) capacity gas-fuelled power supply. The power supply will be upgraded to a permanent 660 MW facility including a battery energy storage system.

The temporary facility is expected to provide power exclusively to a future industrial client on Lot 9503 forming part of an islanded power network. The permanent facility will be connected to the southwest interconnected system.

The proposal has a disturbance footprint of 281 hectares (ha) which includes clearing of 159 ha of native vegetation and 91.4 ha of blue gum plantation within a 452.4 ha development envelope.
