    timbin,

    Capacity is only part of the picture of carbon exposure.

    i.e. Redbank is 151 MW of coal, running baseload, say 90% of capacity, so output is going to be about 1190 MWh. At about 900Kg Co2e per MWh, 1017 Mt co2e.

    Glenbrook is 112 mw, also baseload, but gas co-gen so carbon neutral, (ish).

    Newman is an OCGT running at intermediate duty - say 30% capacity factor, 330 MWh at 600 kg per MWh, 198Mt co2e.

    Carbon exposure is therefore a combination of size (Capacity) duty (load factor or utilisation) and fuel.

    Estimating baseload as 90%, intermediate at 45 or 30% and peak at 5% duty, the output becomes:

    Coal:MWh
    Redbank 1,190
    Flinders Northern 4,257
    Flinders Playford 946

    Gas: MWh
    Oakey 139
    Braemar 1,319
    Pt Headland 828
    Newman 331
    Bairnsdale 41
    Cawse 166
    Pinjarra 2,208
    Wajerup 166

    Gas co-generation: MWh
    Gembrook 883

    So output proportions are:
    Coal 51%,
    Gas 42%
    Cogen 7%

    and taking carbon densities at

    Flinders 1200 kg per MWh
    Redbank 900
    Gas 600

    Proportion of carbon emitted is:
    Coal 70%
    Gas 30%

    All these estimates are industry average rather than BBP specific.

    DYOR, but offered as a guide.
