Mackay Gas Turbine

The Mackay Gas Turbine is a remote-controlled power generator that is operated for short periods when customer demand for electricity is high. The gas turbine's ability to start quickly is important in ensuring a secure, reliable power supply for distribution to consumers.

It was commissioned in 1975 and recently underwent refurbishment to ensure continued reliable operations.

The Rolls-Royce Olympus 34 MW gas turbine runs on LFO and has black start capability.[1][2]
