Parangana Power Station
The Parangana Power Station is a mini-hydro power station located in north-western Tasmania, Australia. It is located below the rock-filled/clay core Parangana Dam which forms Lake Parangana. It is the only mini hydro electric power station in the MerseyForth run-of-river scheme that also contains seven conventional hydroelectric power stations.

Much of the water from Lake Parangana travels the approximately 8 km to the Lemonthyme Power Station which discharges into the River Forth, however some water is allowed to continue down the Mersey River for environmental reasons, after running through the Parangana mini hydro station.
