The Eildon Pondage Power Station is a hydroelectric power station on the Eildon Pondage at Lake Eildon, Victoria, Australia. Eildon Pondage has one turbo generator, with a total generating capacity of 4.5 megawatts (6,000 hp) of electricity. It is owned and operated by Pacific Blue, and the electricity produced is sold to electricity retailer TXU.[1]

Eildon Pondage re-uses the water from Eildon Power Station, which is stored in the pondage to ensure a controlled release into the Goulburn River downstream from Lake Eildon.
