Since 2016, there has been no coal-fired power generation in South Australia. The following fossil fuel power stations previously burned coal to power steam turbines that generate some or all of the electricity they produce.

Playford A ceased generating in 1985. Playford B ceased operation permanently in October 2015, having been out of operation since 2012.^[1] Northern ceased operation permanently in May 2016.^[2]

These gas turbine power stations use gas combustion to generate some or all of the electricity they produce.

Two "temporary generation" facilities were introduced by the South Australian government before the 2017-18 summer season using General Electric gas turbine generators. They were intended to be used only in extreme circumstances to support the grid following two widespread blackouts in 2016. They were installed at the sites of the former Holden factory in Elizabeth South and the Adelaide Desalination Plant at Lonsdale.^[5] In 2022, the former Temporary Generation North turbines were successfully recommissioned at a new location as the Snapper Point Power Station at Outer Harbor.^[4]

These power stations use gas combustion to power steam turbines that generate some or all of the electricity they produce.

These power stations use reciprocating engines to generate some or all of the electricity they produce.

These hydroelectric power stations use the flow of water to generate some or all of the electricity they produce.
