CarbonRE is developing a Renewable Energy project near Southern Cross, located approximately 370 km East of Perth and 220 km west of Kalgoorlie.
The project is being created on a single landowner’s property, significantly reducing stakeholder coordination.
The project involves designing, constructing, financing and operating a hybrid renewable energy system comprising:
The project includes approximately 16 km of 132 kV network connection line connecting to the Yilgarn Substation and other associated infrastructure.
The location has excellent solar and wind resources and is conveniently located adjacent to the first substation on the Western Power network west of Kalgoorlie.
Kalgoorlie has a long mining history with a firm reliance on diesel and gas for fuel/electricity.
The site is located in the Shire of Yilgarn, where similar, smaller-scale projects have been supported with strong local support through the Shire’s Development Approval process.
Recent power outages in Kalgoorlie following severe storms have shown the network reliability for Kalgoorlie is low. The project increases the network reliability by putting a renewable energy resource closer to the Kalgoorlie load.
We work with companies to integrate Renewable Energy solutions into their unique decarbonisation strategies.
