The Anglesea Power Station was a brown coalpowered thermal power station located at Anglesea, in Victoria, Australia. The station has one steam turbine with a capacity of of electricity.It was previously operated by Alcoa of Australia and supplied almost 40% of the electricity used by Alcoa's nearby Point Henry aluminium smelter, until the smelter's closure in August 2014. In June 2015 Alcoa announced that the power plant and mine would close at the end of August 2015, after the company was unable to find a buyer for the power station. On 31 August 2015 it ceased operation as planned. Mine rehabilitation, plant decommissioning and demolition are now in planning.The power station was brought online on 20 March 1969, and was supplied with coal by the adjacent open cut mine, transported to the power station along a 3km long private road. Overburden was stripped and backfilled into the mined area by earthmoving contractors using conventional power shovels and trucks. About 80 people worked at the coal mine and power station.
