The mines agreed and formed Western New South Wales Electric Power Pty.
Ltd. to construct and operate the plant.
The diesel powered plant was completed in 1931.
This was one of the earliest examples of the use of diesel power generation in Australia.
The plant was enlarged in 1950 to cope with increased demand from the North Mine.
At the same time, a new power station run by the Southern Power Corporation ( owned by Consolidated Zinc ) was erected near the new Broken Hill Consolidated Mine to provide power to the southern end of the Line of Lode.
Both stations were connected as a grid.
