The power station was designed and built by Cummins Power Generation under contract from Infratil in 2005. At the time, it was Australia's largest and lowest-emission diesel power station. It achieves low emissions through selective catalytic reduction technology, spraying urea into the exhaust.^[2]

Snowy Hydro bought assets from Infratil in 2014. These included Lumo Energy, Direct Connect and three diesel peaking generators for a total of 136 MW. The other two were the Lonsdale Power Station and the Port Stanvac Power Station.^[3]
