Decarbonisation at Solomon

Central to our commitment to decarbonising our operations, the Solomon site seamlessly integrates into the PEC network. The site’s advanced infrastructure and renewable energy solutions facilitate the green transition and achieving Real Zero.
  • On-site Electrical Infrastructure

    Design and construction are underway for the on-site electrical reticulation infrastructure at Solomon. The system ensures that renewable energy from the PEC network is delivered to where it’s needed on site.

  • Transmission Lines Integration

    Transmission lines connect Solomon to Iron Bridge and Port Hedland, facilitating the first phase of the Pilbara Energy Connect (PEC) Project. This infrastructure allows for the flow of renewable energy across site, reducing emissions and improving efficiency.
