A central Queensland power station that caught fire and exploded is not expected to be operational for days as investigators work to determine the cause of the blaze.
The Callide power station in Biloela, Queensland.
The fire caused chaos across the state from Rockhampton to the Gold Coast, after both units of Callide C tripped just before 2pm, causing instability on the grid.
Instability on the grid also resulted in operating units at Callide B and Stanwell and three units at Gladstone also tripping.
