HFW ADVISES ON AUSTRALIA'S LARGEST INTEGRATED OFF-GRID SOLAR ARRAY PROJECT

A HFW team led by Partner Simon Adams and assisted by Jo Garland advised Sandfire Resources on what will be Australia's largest off-grid solar array project and one of the largest used in the mining industry anywhere in the world. The innovative AU$40 million project will involve the construction of a 10.6MW solar power station at Sandfire Resources' DeGrussa Copper Mine in Western Australia. The solar power station will be fully integrated with the existing diesel-fired power station at DeGrussa. The project has the potential to establish DeGrussa as an industry leader in the use of renewable power for mining and processing operations.
