DEGRUSSA MININGWESTERN AUSTRALIA

DeGrussa is the largest off-grid solar battery storage project in Australia. It powers a gold and copper mine in

remote WA. Commissioned in June 2016, it provides a

solar and storage solution to the majority of the mine’s

daytime electricity requirements, offsetting up to 20% of total diesel consumption annually.

NECTAR FARMSVICTORIA

Bulgana Green Power Hub, consisting of 196 MW of wind

backed by a 20MW battery, is co-located with agri-business Nectar Farms to provide secure and affordable energy. Nectar Farms is using the latest in hydroponic glasshouse

and plant technology to create a 10 hectare state of the art

facility and over 130 local jobs.

EARLY WORKSMAY/JUNE 2020

CONSTRUCTION STAGESJULY 2020 TO FEBRUARY 2022

IN THE TOWN

Increased numbersAs early construction works

commence, you will start to see

more project and construction staff around town.
