(11 July 2022 – Australia) Western Australia’s (WA) Clean Energy Future Fund enabled Northern Star’s Carosue Dam gold mine to displace diesel and gas with renewable solar electricity, slashing its carbon footprint by six tonnes per annum.

The project was one of the first to receive funding under the WA government’s Clean Energy Future Fund after receiving a A$1 million grant to support displacing the mining site’s diesel and gas use. It is now the first operational project utilising renewable energy.

“We hope the project can serve as an example for other mining operations across the state for how renewables can be integrated into their operations. I’m impressed that the number of clean energy generation projects is becoming an increasing trend at mine sites and Nomadic Energy should be congratulated on setting a new standard for industry” WA Energy Minister Bill Johnston said.

“The type of innovative deployment of renewables at the Carosue Dam gold mine will help the state reach its emissions reduction targets. To meet the State’s net zero by 2050 target, we need projects like this that address challenging emissions sources with technologies having strong potential for wider adoption” commented WA Minister for Climate Action, Reece Whitby.
