PRESS RELEASE
Goldwind today announced it has entered an agreement with Energy Developments Pty Ltd (EDL) to deliver the wind farm project at the Gold Fields Agnew Gold Mine hybrid renewable energy project in the northern goldfields region of Western Australia.
The Agnew project, which received funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) as part of ARENA’s Advancing Renewables Program, is the first Australian mine to use wind generation as part of a large hybrid microgrid. The wind farm will consist of five GW140/3.57MW Goldwind wind turbines at 110 metre hub height and 18 megawatts generated capacity.
EDL is engaged to design, construct, own and operate the microgrid to power the Agnew Mine in two stages, under a 10-year agreement with Gold Fields.
Goldwind, together with Balance of Plant Joint Venture Partner NACAP, will provide Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) services to the project. Goldwind will additionally provide Warranty Operations and Maintenance during the operations period.
