Template:Infobox Power Station The Kogan Creek Power Station is a 750 megawatt coal fired power station owned by CS Energy on the Darling Downs in Queensland. The $1.2 billion plant is situated at Brigalow, in the Surat Basin between Dalby and Chinchilla.

Kogan Creek is the largest single unit generator in Australia and was built by Siemens. It was opened by the Queensland Premier Anna Bligh and Minister for Mines and Energy Geoff Wilson on 27 November 2007.

The power station uses supercritical steam technology and air cooled surface condensers which reduces water consumption. The plant consumes 90% less water when compared to conventional power stations through the use of dry cooling technology.

The fuel source is the Kogan Creek coal deposit, which is also owned by CS Energy and will provide 2.8 million tonnes of black coal annually. The coal is delivered to the power station via a 4 km long conveyor belt. The coal mine is operated by Golding Contractors, who has a contract to run the mine until 2018.

A 28 km, 275kV transmission line connects the power station to the National Electricity Market, providing power to Queensland and New South Wales.
