An 18MW fully integrated hybrid power station that uses thermal and renewable power to generate energy for Galena’s Abra Base Metals Project in WA’s Gascoyne region.
Hybrid Systems Australia delivered the station’s 2MW battery energy storage system and a 6MW solar farm, which is expected to meet nearly 30% of the mine site’s power needs, significantly reducing fossil-fuel consumption and emissions.
