Australian gold producer Gold Road Resources Limited (Gold Road) has selected Unlimited Energy Australia to realise a key step in minimising its environmental footprint and reducing operating costs by deploying a state-of-the-art renewable energy system with phase one of the project now completed.
The new system comprises a solar Photovoltaic (PV) array combined with a TESVOLT lithium energy storage hub. Driving this approach was the requirement to offset the use of existing onsite diesel generators, thereby reducing the associated carbon emissions, and the cost of diesel and related logistics, at the Yamarna exploration camp located approximately 1,200km east of Perth.
