Southern Cross Energy (TransAlta) proposes to construct and operate up to 150 megawatt of gas reciprocating engines and associated infrastructure in the Northern Goldfields region of Western Australia (the proposal), approximately 90 kilometres (km) north of Leinster and 80 km south of Wiluna.
The proposal will be a component of TransAlta’s existing Southern Cross Energy North (SCEN) network supplying power to BHP Nickel West and potential third-party operators. The proposal will be constructed within an existing brownfields site. No vegetation clearing is proposed
