The Newport Power Station was a complex of power stations in the suburb of Newport, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Newport A, B, and C coal-fired plants operated at the site between 1919 and the 1980s, while the Newport D 500 MW gas-fired peak load plant has operated since 1981. Old Newport was claimed to be (in terms of the amount of plant) the largest power station in the southern hemisphere in 1953 with 42 boilers and 14 turbo-alternators producing 327 MW.
