Some APA employees live in the town of Newman and are proud members of the local community. Wherever possible, APA uses local business to supply and help maintain the power station.

The Newman Power Station is a vital source of electricity for the Pilbara region, particularly for the mining industry. It provides a reliable and stable power supply, which is essential for the economic prosperity of the area.

The addition of battery storage to the dual fuel power station allows for more efficient operation and a reduced reliance on gas turbines for spinning reserve.

The operation and maintenance of the Newman Power Station provide direct employment opportunities for the Newman community.
