Geelong B Power Station opened in 1954 and was once the largest power station in Victoria. Originally powered by brown coal, it was later converted to use briquettes transported from the Latrobe Valley.
By the 1960s, the station operated only during high-demand periods and was permanently closed in 1970 when more efficient power stations in the Latrobe Valley began producing cheaper electricity. Unlike most conventional power stations, Geelong B Power Station's boilers were positioned outside the turbine house, a unique feature in Australian design.
