Woodside plans to develop 50 MW Woodside Power Project in Burrup Peninsulaa

Woodside is investigating the supply of approximately 50 MW of solar energy to the Woodside-operated Pluto LNG facility on Western Australia’s Burrup Peninsula.

The solar power would be supplied from the proposed Woodside Power Project, which could comprise more than 210,000 solar panels, making it one of the largest solar projects in Western Australia.

Woodside and Perdaman have announced their intentions to evaluate the supply of a further 50 MW of solar power from the Woodside Power Project to Perdaman’s proposed urea facility.

Perdaman estimates incorporating solar power would reduce its fuel gas consumption by approximately 50% while reducing emissions by at least 200,000 tonnes of CO2-equivalent per year, over 20 years. The initiative would also allow the company to increase production of ammonia, which produces zero emissions at the point of use.
