Australian mining giant Fortescue Metals Group announced today (16 April) that construction has started on a 190MW solar PV plant at its Cloudbreak site in Western Australia.

Fortescue Metals is aiming to capitalise on China’s “insatiable demand for green products” through green metals production and exports.

Australian mining giant Fortescue Metals Group has started constructing a US$50 million project in Western Australia. The project aims to harness solar PV to produce green hydrogen, which will be used to create green metals.

Fortescue's 100MW North Star Junction solar farm in Western Australia is partially operational, and the firm is committed to green hydrogen.

The assessment of the Uaroo Renewable Energy Hub proposal was terminated by the EPA at the request of Pilbara Energy (Generation).

A subsidiary of Australian mining company Fortescue Metals Group is looking to construct a green hydrogen facility in Egypt that could feature 9.2GW of solar and wind generation.

Mining giant Fortescue will mix solar (150MW), gas (150MW) with “large-scale” storage battery at hub in Western Australia, adding to 60MW first solar stage announced last year.
