(Kitco News) – Newcrest Mining plans to operate the Cadia gold mine in New South Wales with electricity from the Rye Park wind farm north of Yass. The gold miner has agreed to purchase renewable electricity from the wind farm developer Tilt Renewables in Rye Park for a period of 15 years. Newcrest stated that Rye Park would become the largest wind farm directly enabled by a power purchase agreement in Australia.
Sandeep Biswas, Newcrest General Manager, stated, “This is a critical step in our transition to sustainable energy use in our operations. As part of our climate protection policy published in June last year, we committed ourselves to a significant reduction in emissions intensity, and this agreement is an important step towards achieving this goal. « . He then added: “We continue to look for ways to reduce the emissions intensity of Cadia. Our long-term goal is to virtually eliminate Cadia’s energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. ”.
