List of power stations in South Australia
This is a list of active power stations in South Australia, Australia. Candidates for this list must already be commissioned and capable of generating 1 MW or more of electricity.
Coal fired
The following fossil fuel power stations previously burned coal to power steam turbines that generate some or all of the electricity they produce.Playford B, as of October 2015, ceased operation permanently, having been out of operation since 2012.
Northern, as of May 2016, ceased operation permanently.
As a result, there is no longer any operational Coal Fired power plant in South Australia.
Gas turbine
These gas turbine power stations use gas combustion to generate some or all of the electricity they produce.| Power station | Owner/Operator | Capacity | Turbines | Fuel type | Combined cycle |

| Temporary Generation North | SA Government | 154 | 5 | diesel | no |
| Temporary Generation South | SA Government | 123 | 4 | diesel | no |
The two "temporary generation" facilities were introduced by the South Australian government before the 2017-18 summer season using General Electric gas turbine generators. They are intended to be used only in extreme circumstances to support the grid following two widespread blackouts in 2016. They are installed at the sites of the former Holden factory in Elizabeth South and the Adelaide Desalination Plant at Lonsdale.
