The Balmain Power Station was located at Iron Cove, 4 km (2 mi) from Sydney in New South Wales, Australia.
In 1903, the Public Health Department directed Balmain Council to find alternatives to the open tip dumping of local rubbish.
It also supplied power to large enterprises in the local area including Mort's Dock and the Balmain Colliery.
A legal dispute over the valuation of the power station then ensued which delayed the sale until January 1957 when the plant changed hands for £600,000.
The power station was demolished in 1998, and the Balmain Shores apartment complex was built on the site.
Prior to its demolition, the 'B' Station was used as the set of an episode of the ABC program Police Rescue.
