Turbines in Murray 1 power station. Murray 1 is the 2nd largest power station in the Snowy mountains hydro scheme. It has 10, 95 megawatt turbine generators. Each turbine can generate enough electricity to power 95,000 homes. The whole snwy hydro scheme generates an average of 4500 gigwatt hours per year and produces 11% of Australias electricity. Sadly nearly all the rest of Australias power generation is from coal fired power stations. The scheme also provides 2360 gigalitres of irrigation water.
