Karajarri target renewables in joint venture
The Karajarri People are targeting renewable energy in a new joint venture formed with Dutch geodata company Fugro and Australian geoscience specialists Longreach Capital Investment.
The collaboration, operating as Gingerah Energy, aims to develop a large-scale renewable energy hub on Karajarri country, situated between Broome and Port Hedland in northwest Western Australia.
This project marks an important step towards supporting Australia's net zero targets while enhancing energy security.
The initiative will provide significant economic opportunities to the region.
Gingerah Energy will conduct site characterisation and pre-feasibility studies to assess the
viability of renewable energy projects in the area.
The Gingerah region is well-suited for sustainable development, with abundant renewable
energy resources and vast land areas available for the project.
The Karajarri People will play a central role, ensuring that cultural heritage and environmental integrity are protected throughout the development process.
A critical element of the joint venture is the signing of an Indigenous Land Use Agreement between Gingerah Energy and the Karajarri People.
The ILUA provides a framework for renewable energy development that respects cultural and environmental considerations.
Gingerah Energy invites inquiries regarding its development plans and remains committed to keeping the community updated as studies progress.
