The 100MW AC (132MW DC) Merredin solar is the newest and biggest solar farm in W.A., having been completed in 2020. It was built by Risen Energy (Australia).
“This agreement will bolster current and future Western Australian renewable projects,” said John Zhong, vice general manager at Risen Energy (Australia).
“We look forward to welcoming many more clean energy partnerships to power manufacturing, minerals processing and other Western Australian industries.”
BHP Nickel West’s asset president Eddy Haegel said the deal with the Merredin solar farm will cut the refinery’s electricity bill by up to 20 per cent, as well as cutting missions by 50 per cent.
