The power plant comprises four GE TM2500+ dual-fuel turbines running on clean-burning natural gas.
Capable of operating for at least 30 months, the power plant will serve as a bridging solution until TransAlta Energy develops a 150MW combined cycle gas power station in the region, which is expected in early 2017.
Designed for extreme conditions in Western Australia, the power plant can be expanded with the integration of additional two aero-derivative turbines to meet growing needs.
APR Energy chief executive officer Laurence Anderson said: "This project aligns with our goal to diversify our operational footprint with projects in developed markets and exemplifies the strong solution turbine technology provides for these customers."
APR Energy Asia Pacific managing director Clive Turton said: "With this contract, we once again see turbines as the most, if not only, viable technology for utility customers needing large-scale, rapidly-deployed solutions that provide greater grid stability, low capital costs and low emissions.
"This application is ideal for any new power projects in developed and developing markets and we expect to see more bridging solutions in the future."
