Snuggery Power Station is a power station near Tantanoola in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia. It was built in 1978.[3] It is now owned by Synergen Power, a subsidiary of Engie Energy International.[4]

The power station has a generating capacity of 63 MW, consisting of three diesel-fueled open cycle gas turbines.[2] It is used as a peaking power plant.[4] Engie announced in February 2024 that Snuggery and Port Lincoln diesel power plants would be taken out of service from July 2024, and fully closed in 2028.[5]
