New Dalby power station gets green light ...

The new gas-fired power station at Dalby gets the green light.

New power station = more demand for gas = more gas water.

But there are no other options, are there Mayor Thorley?

Power station to boost Dalby region

More jobs will be created on the Darling Downs after the green light was officially given for a new $30 million power station to be built about 40 kilometres west of Dalby.

Arrow Energy has signed an agreement with the Australian Pipeline Trust, which will own and operate the power station using gas from Arrow's Daandine fields.

Arrow Energy's chief executive Nick Davis says work is expected to begin almost immediately, with the project to be finished by the end of this year.

"Well, it again means more industrial activity in the area, there will be uses of goods and services from within Dalby and local surrounds," he said.

"Arrow Energy has spent about $35 million in the area over the last 12 months and this will cause further funds to be directed into the local economy."
