Berrimah Power Station is located in Berrimah, an industrial suburb of Darwin, Northern Territory, Australia.

The Berrimah Power Station was built and commissioned in 1979 after a number of faults with the Stokes Hill Power Station.

Its purpose is and has always been for emergency and standby needs. It is fuelled by kerosene. Originally, it had 30MW capacity (3 x 10MW) but as of February 2012, only one unit is still operational, with the other two having been decommissioned.
