Pacific Energy has signed an agreement with Gold Fields to design and construct a 35 MW solar farm for the St Ives gold mine, located 80 km south of Kalgoorlie in WA’s Eastern Goldfields region, Australia.
The solar farm is a part of Gold Fields’ landmark AU$296 million (US$198 million) St Ives Renewables Project, which also includes 42 MW of wind power. The system is expected to power the mine site using upwards of 70% renewable energy and will reduce the mine’s carbon emissions by about 50% by 2030. The St Ives Renewables Project is the first time Gold Fields has managed a renewables project in-house.
Pacific Energy will commence civil work on the solar farm in November 2024 and expects it to be fully operational in 2026.
