Butlers Gorge Power Station

Butlers Gorge Power Station, nestled in Tasmania's Central Highlands, is a pivotal component of Hydro Tasmania's Derwent scheme. Commissioned in 1951, it harnesses the Upper River Derwent's flow to generate 12.2 MW of electricity annually. The station's strategic location at the base of Clark Dam ensures efficient water management, directing flows to downstream facilities like Tarraleah Power Station. Its integration with the Derwent scheme underscores its role in Tasmania's sustainable energy production.
