List of power stations in Tasmania
This is a list of active power stations in Tasmania, Australia. Candidates for this list must already be commissioned and capable of generating 1-megawatt (1,300 hp) or more of electricity.
Gas
Thermal gas
These power stations use gas combustion to power steam turbines that generate some or all of the electricity they produce.
