Osborne Power Station - WikipediaOsborne 'A' Power Station was opened in August 1923 by the Adelaide Electric Supply Company, which leased 24 acres of swamp land from the Harbors Board for an 84-year term.[4] The boilers in this power station used black coal imported from New South Wales, but were later modified to burn the poorer quality Leigh Creek, South Australia coal. The Adelaide Electric Supply Company was later nationalised to become the Electricity Trust of South Australia.[5]
Work on the Osborne 'B' Power Station on the same site started in 1947 and was completed soon after.[6] The plant was decommissioned in 1989-90,[7] and demolished from 1998.[8]
