Renewable energy
The peaking stations can generate electricity within a few minutes of
start-up, making them ideally suited to supply power during peak
periods. They also assist in regulating the system voltage and frequency
to ensure stability of the national transmission network.

Peak demand stations
The return-to-service ( RTS ) stations were mothballed in 1990 and are
in the process of being recommisioned due to the growing demand for
electricity. The return-to-service project for Camden power station
ended on 31 March 2010 with the entire station fully commercial.
