www.australianmining.com.auSunrise Energy Group will supply and construct a 3-4 MegaWatt alternating current solar farm designed to supply power to Image Resources’ Boonanarring mineral sands project, located north of Perth in Western Australia.
The solar farm will connect directly to the mine’s existing electrical supply network in a ‘behind the meter’ configuration and is expected to produce around 25% of its electrical requirements. The Boonanarring plant represents a step forward in the use of renewables by the commercial and industrial sector in Western Australia where, until now, there has been a limited adoption of large-scale distributed generation
In addition to providing sustainable power, the construction of the solar farm will result in an additional $6–7 million of capital investment by Sunrise Energy Group into a long-life asset located in the shire of Gingin, creating both construction and operational employment.
