Diesel Generation Plants

The South Australian Diesel Generation Database (Database) contains publicly available information on the ownership, use, location and configuration of electricity producing, diesel-fueled generation plants in South Australia.

The database was compiled at the request of RenewablesSA with the intention of increasing the available information on diesel generation use in South Australia.

A voluntary survey was carried out to obtain the information. Significant information was provided by the Government of South Australia through the Department of Planning Transport and Infrastructure through the Buildings Management section and through the former Department of Minerals, Industry, Trade, Resources and Energy (now the Department for Energy and Mining).

The data set was updated in 2018 to include large and small diesel generation and includes projects under development and hybrid installations where there is more than one source of generation. Updated data has been sourced from the Department for Energy and Mining.

The fields have been updated to be consistent with the SA Power Generation data set.
