Snuggery Power Station is a power station near Tantanoola in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia. It was built in 1978. [3] It is now owned by Synergen Power, a subsidiary of Engie Energy International. [4]

The power station has a generating capacity of 63 MW, consisting of three diesel-fueled open cycle gas turbines. [2] It is used as a peaking power plant. [4] Engie announced in February 2024 that Snuggery and Port Lincoln diesel power plants would be taken out of regular service from July 2024, and fully closed in 2028, [5] serving as reserve power in the meantime.
