The former Sugarloaf Power Station on Lake Eildon

The Sugarloaf Hydroelectric Power Station is a now decommissioned mini hydroelectric power station at Sugarloaf Reservoir, near Melbourne, Victoria, Australia opened March 20th, 1929 by the Premier Sir William McPherson.[1] It is located at the outlet of the North-South Pipeline that carries water over the Great Dividing Range from the Goulburn River to Melbourne. It will recover approximately 40% of the energy used to pump water through the pipeline.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]
