The feasibility study received grant funding from the WA Government’s Renewable Hydrogen Fund, which is administered by the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation (JTSI).
Pacific Hydro (PH) owns and operates the Ord Hydro Power Station in Western Australia (WA).
The Ord Hydro Power Station is situated on Lake Argyle, approximately 45 km south of Kununurra in WA
The plant supplies the township of Kununurra and the Argyle Diamond Mine via a transmission network owned and maintained by Pacific Hydro.
The anticipated diamond mine closure will result in between 15 and 25MW of power becoming available for alternate applications.
Pacific Hydro is seeking alternative applications for the available power, including the opportunity to develop a hydrogen production facility.
