- Large renewable energy investors are showing increased interest in financing offgrid PV and renewable projects. Projects to supply mining operations in remote locations in particular are attracting investor attention with high quality offtaker companies assisting with project bankability.
- DeGrussa Copper-Gold Mine in Western Australia will be equipped with a 10.6 MW PV power plant to supply the mine’s daily operations.
- ARENA is providing AU$20.9 million (US$15.25 million) in funding for the AU$40 million (US$29.2 million) project and the agency hopes it will provide the mining industry with an example to be rolled out elsewhere.
- The DeGrussa project will also employ battery storage, in the form of a 6MWh lithium-ion battery system.
- We know that there is at least 700 – 800 MW of demand in diesel power generation alone [in Western Australia], so there is at least that much and that is just for the miners.”
