The Somerset Dam Power Station is a hydroelectric power station at Somerset, South East Queensland, Australia. The plant is part of the Somerset Dam and has a generating capacity of 4.1 megawatts.[1] It is the oldest grid-connected hydroelectric station still operating in Queensland.[2]
The 2010–2011 Queensland floods cause the station to be flooded, requiring a $11.6 million restoration.[1] It wasn't until 2019 that the plant resumed generating electricity.[3]
