The 305-400 megawatt facility is to be developed along with a wind power generator and a project to boost fresh water supplies in the south west region of Australia's biggest state, the privately held company said. The power station would be situated on land owned by Griffin and would commence operation in about four years, with coal supplied from its nearby Ewington collieries, the company said.
