Port Augusta Renewable Energy Park
The Port Augusta Renewable Energy Park is a combined wind and solar farm under construction south of Port Augusta in South Australia, Australia.The wind turbines will be on both sides of the Augusta Highway, extending south as far as the road to Horrocks Pass.[2] The project was developed by DP Energy, but prior to construction, Spanish company Iberdrola committed to investing A$500 million and will eventually own stage 1 after DP Energy manages its construction.[4] The original "Stage 2" remains owned by DP Energy and is proposed to include more solar photovoltaic generation and a grid connected battery.[11] In October 2021, it was announced that the primary customer for electricity from the facility will be the Olympic Dam mine owned by BHP.
