Geelong B Power Station.

Geelong B Power Station opened on 8 October 1954 in North Geelong, on the edge of Corio Bay. It was a "packaged" station with components imported from the United States, and at 30 megawatts across three 10 MW boiler-generator sets it was the largest power station in Victoria outside the Latrobe Valley. The design was unusual: rather than housing the boilers in a conventional boiler house, all three sat out of doors except for the operating faces, cutting construction costs. The State Electricity Commission of Victoria ran the station for 16 years before the Latrobe Valley brown-coal expansion left it for peak loads only. It closed in 1970. The building still stands. In 2014 it hosted an art project curated by Ian Ballis, and has since been formalised as a legal-graffiti precinct within the Pivot City heritage area.
