100 Years of Electricity Transmission – Yallourn “milestone”
PowerWorks Visitors Centre – Free Admission
EXTENDED “OPENING HOURS” – Saturday 15th June
As can be seen from the newspaper article extract below, its 100 years since electricity, generated at the Yallourn Power Station, was linked for the first time to the Melbourne power houses and supply system.
To mark this special “milestone” it is planned that our PowerWorks Visitors Centre will be “open” for “extended hours” this Saturday, 15th June next. The revised hours for the day will be 12 noon to 3.00pm. Admission will be free for this “special day”.
Our loyal volunteers will be in attendance as usual to “Open Up” and greet all visitors. It is anticipated that some former SEC of Victoria staff members may be in attendance for the “special” day as well.
Thanks to the generous support of Energy Australia, Yallourn, arrangements have been made for the Morwell Rotary Club to provide BBQ catering for the day with tea and coffee, from 12 noon to 2.00pm.
In addition to PowerWorks regular “handouts” being available, Energy Australia will have information available regarding their planned “Wooreen Energy Storage System”, based next to their Jeeralang Power Station, at Bond’s Lane, Hazelwood.
“The Age” daily newspaper article extract, 17 June 1924:
YALLOURN POWER SUPPLY MADE AVAILABLE YESTERDAY.
After many delays, due to many causes, the State Electricity Commissioners’ electricity, scheme at Yallourn became operative yesterday. Even at the weekend officials of the commission stated that they were not aware of the actual date of switching on. It is known that the Commissioners were not anxious to make an announcement until the linking up process had taken place. An official statement was, made available yesterday. In it the Commissioners said: — “The new powerhouse at Yallourn was linked up with the Melbourne power houses and supply system for the first time at noon on Sunday, after the relevant boiler plant and turbo-generator machinery, all the auxiliary machines and control and switch gear had passed successfully through a long series of potential, load, speed and efficiency tests during the past three to four weeks. From to-day the first of the five turbogenerators, each of which is capable of supplying , continuously upwards of 16,000 horsepower, comes, together with the associated steam boilers, into regular daily operation in order to meet the daily increasing public demand for electric lighting, power and traction. In succeeding months the remaining three generators and an additional spare generator for emergency use, will undergo trials, and will be put into commission in sympathy with the growth of the public demand. It is important for the public to realise that the main transmission line, 110 miles long, connecting the Yallourn works with the metropolis is now fully energised, and that it is dangerous for any person to climb the towers supporting the conductors which carry the energy.
“Two important consequences of the completion of the first unit of the Yallourn plant should be noted. In the first place, the risk of a serious or prolonged interruption in the electric services of metropolitan and provincial districts served by the scheme has been greatly lessened by the availability of a large additional unit of plant, now put into service. In the second place, the State of Victoria has been provided with a source of electric supply which for the first time in its history is entirely independent of the uncertainties and vicissitudes of imported fuel.”

Get on Board at PowerWorks
PowerWorks is seeking expressions of interest from community members to consider becoming a voluntary Director of our PowerWorks Pty Ltd Board.
PowerWorks is a not-for-profit community owned organisation, operated by volunteers and it offers a range of opportunities for community members to become involved in the day to day running of the facility.
“As existing Board members, we take a ‘hands on’ approach,” said PowerWorks Chair Darrell White. “We welcome applications from community minded people who are willing to give of their time to ensure that PowerWorks continues to be an exciting tourist attraction; a unique place where visitors can gain accurate, balanced understanding of energy, electricity, brown coal history, development and future uses of this state asset.”
“Apart from the usual administrative commitments, meetings etc, there are a range of areas that prospective Directors can become involved in, depending on their personal skills and interests.”
Alongside the call for Expressions of Interest for Directors, PowerWorks is also keen to hear from community members (especially ex SECV workers) who would be willing to volunteer their time, to assist in the many different tasks that are needed to keep PowerWorks running. These tasks include, but are not limited to:
-
Maintenance
-
Events and Tour Guides
-
Grounds maintenance
-
Administrative duties
-
Media and marketing
