The Snapper Point Power Station is a gas turbine power station under development at Outer Harbor, South Australia, beside the older Pelican Point Power Station.

Snapper Point Power Station is owned by Nexif Energy and is a peaking power plant to provide firm reliability for electricity supply contracts from Nexif's Lincoln Gap Wind Farm.[1] It uses the five gas turbine generation units acquired from the Government of South Australia which previously comprised the Temporary Generation North power station.[2] The plant is expected to be online by 1 July 2023.[3]
