The world's leading mining company, Rio Tinto, has announced the construction of two 5.25MW solar farms in Gumatj and Rirratjingu, a traditional country in the Gove Peninsula, Northern Territory. This is a significant step towards securing a sustainable power supply. The Gumatj and Rirratjingu, Traditional Owner Groups, have approved the solar farms, which will be built on Rio Tinto leases.
The initiative aims to provide a low-carbon energy future for the Gove community as mining operations in the region are projected to cease by the end of the decade. Aggreko, a global leader in mobile and modular power solutions, will construct, own, and operate the solar farms.
