The station is located 8 kilometres (5.0 mi) east of Miles on the south side of the Warrego Highway.

The Condamine Power Station is owned by QGC Limited, a subsidiary of Royal Dutch Shell.

Commissioned in June 2009, it has been claimed to be the world’s first combined-cycle power station entirely fired by untreated coal seam gas direct from the gasfield and Australia's first steam turbine condenser cooled by coal seam methane wastewater.

However, the Townsville Power Station at Yabulu was commissioned earlier in February 2005 after being converted from a peak load to a combined cycle configuration but was designed to consume only treated coal seam gas.

The EPC contractor was Austrian Energy and Environment with the gas turbines supplied by Siemens.
