BHP to reduce emissions at Nickel West

摘要

BHP has executed a 15-year contract extension to its power purchase agreement (PPA) with energy provider Southern Cross Energy (SCE) for the supply of electricity to its Nickel West Goldfields based operations. The agreement extends the current arrangement to 2038, giving Nickel West access to all electricity produced by SCE. Nickel West Asset President Eduard Haegel said the PPA also provided Nickel West with the additional ability to integrate renewable electricity generation, including solar and wind, with energy storage technologies to meet its emissions reduction targets and deliver lower carbon, sustainable nickel to its customers.
