Two "temporary generation" facilities were introduced by the South Australian government before the 2017-18 summer season using General Electric gas turbine generators. They were intended to be used only in extreme circumstances to support the grid following two widespread blackouts in 2016. They were installed at the sites of the former Holden factory in Elizabeth South and the Adelaide Desalination Plant at Lonsdale.[5] In 2022, the former Temporary Generation North turbines were successfully recommissioned at a new location as the Snapper Point Power Station at Outer Harbor.[4]
