Iron Road explores wind power for Central Eyre Iron Project
Australian miner Iron Road is collaborating with a subsidiary of Denmark-based wind power group Vestas to explore the supply of green electricity for its Central Eyre Iron Project (CEIP), in South Australia.
The companies have entered into a collaboration agreement to assess power supply offtake opportunities. This formalises an 18-month informal partnership where the two parties explored complementary development opportunities across the Eyre Peninsula region.
Vestas’ Campoona Energy development, which includes the Cleve Wind Farm and Campoona energy hub, has a combined capacity of up to 3 GW of wind energy.
As part of the agreement, Iron Road and Vestas will investigate the optimal configuration of green electricity supply and storage to meet CEIP’s power demands. The cooperation will also evaluate other commercial opportunities and potential synergies.
The CEIP is an advanced iron-ore mining, beneficiation and infrastructure development project on the Eyre Peninsula. The planned export facility at Cape Hardy is designed to be South Australia’s first Capesize capable port and both the port and industrial precinct will be developed over a number of stages. Infrastructure Australia has identified the potential for Cape Hardy to ultimately integrate to the Australian National Rail Network which would provide the basis for a world-class multi-user bulk shipment port that can service central and southern regional Australia.
