Mt Piper Power Station and Energy Expo:
The Mt Piper is Detlta Electicity's newest power station suitated 25kms west of Lithgow, in the Blue Mountains.
The Energy Expo caters for all with interactives, videos and displays. Public facilities such as barbecues, tennis courts, a children's playground and extensive landscaping make it an attractive setting.
During most of the year the area is home too many hundreds of wild kangaroos, drawn to the area by the large expanses of grassed areas.
Groups of one or two are just as welcome as busloads and seminar room seats 60. Very large groups should ring before arriving to ensure the guide has adequate equipment to cater for the group. Tours are of 1 hour duration and are free.
Displays: The Energy Expo displays contain both visual aids such as computers with touch screens to allow user interaction with the information system, and displays of real equipment used in the power station. For those feeling fit enough there is exercise equipment to see just how much energy you can produce riding a bike, cranking a handle, or climbing simulated steps.
Much of the equipment in the plant is explained in the Energy Expo, including real examples of mill balls, coal, ash, fabric filter bags and a real section of a high voltage transmission line.
A wide range of video's appealing to anyone, no matter what their area of interest, can be shown, including some designed for children.
