Resources giant BHP Billiton (BIL) has approved
development of its Yarnima Power Station to secure future power supply for its
Western Australia Iron Ore mining operations in the Pilbara.
BHP Billiton will build, own, and operate the combined
cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power station, to be located in Newman, which will
deliver 190 megawatts to replace supply from the existing Newman Power Station.
The capital cost of the project is expected to be US$597 million (BHP Billiton
share US$507 million), it said in a statement.
The power station will include gas turbines equipped with
heat recovery steam generators to capture waste heat for the generation of
additional power.
