HORIZON POWER
ENERGY world class resource area for iron ore and natural gas , and a hugely important part of the Australian economy ,” said Tudor .
Horizon Power is involved in several projects in the Pilbara , including increasing the resilience of the energy grid , supporting the mining industry ’ s residential base , and the construction of a 100 megawatt temporary power station built in conjunction with GE ’ s alliance partner American Project Rentals ( APR ).
“ That power station was delivered on-budget without compromising security of supply ,” said Tudor . “ The Pilbara power project is interesting because we built permanent infrastructure that will initially support APR ’ s transportable generators for a period of approximately two years . APR will then take those generators and deploy them elsewhere . We then plan on working with a company out of Canada called TransAlta to connect to the permanent 180 megawatt power station , again using GE machines . That will be the first combined-cycle gas-fired power station in the Pilbara .”
