Coolimba Power is a $1.3billion investment based on a baseload 400‐450MW coal fired power station including an additional 360MW of gas fired power located 270km north of Perth in the rapidly developing Mid West region of WA. Coolimba also has plans to phase in up to 2.9 million tonnes per annum of carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) as a separate project when feasible. Coolimba will hold national and global significance if CCS is successfully integrated into the project. It will put the Mid West and WA at the forefront of setting the benchmark for a low emissions future.
It is being developed jointly by integrated energy company Aviva Corporation Limited and global power company AES, who have 123 energy generation operations in 29 countries on five continents, a capacity that serves 100 million people worldwide.
The Coolimba Power Project, based near Eneabba, will help to develop the Mid West by delivering a secure energy supply in a growing region; and energy is a key ingredient needed to make sure the region’s vast resources are developed to their full potential.
