Guthega Power Station is located in the Snowy Mountains region of New South Wales, Australia. The power station's purpose is for the generation of electricity. It is the first to be completed and smallest of the initial seven hydroelectric power stations that comprise the Snowy Mountains Scheme, a vast hydroelectricity and irrigation complex constructed in south-east Australia between 1949 and 1974 and now run by Snowy Hydro.
This station is connected to the National Electricity Market via the TransGrid 330/132 kV Substation at the TransGrid 330 kV Murray Switching Station, 1.56 kilometres (1.71 mi) South East of Khancoban.
