The BHP Mitsubishi Alliance (BMA) has entered into a new renewable power purchase agreement (PPA) with Queensland’s publicly owned energy generator and retailer CleanCo, which is expected to provide half the forecasted electricity demand of BMA’s Central Queensland operations over five years from January 2026. An agreement between BMA and CleanCo is currently in place to power 50% of BMA’s current Queensland electricity needs with renewables, and the second PPA, which will run to the end of 2030, will effectively extend the existing agreement which runs to the end of 2025.
PERTH – The BHP Mitsubishi Alliance has entered into a new renewable power purchase agreement with Queensland’s publicly owned energy generator and retailer CleanCo, which is expected to provide half the forecasted electricity demand of BMA’s Central Queensland operations over five years from January 2026.
BHP said that the second PPA will enable BMA to continue to source half of its expected electricity needs from low greenhouse gas emission sources such as solar and wind, as well as pumped hydro. The new PPA will help support four renewable electricity projects across regional Queensland, which combined are expected to generate more than 1500 local jobs during construction: the Dulacca wind farm due for completion in late 2023, the MacIntyre wind farm due for completion in 2025, and the Western Downs green power hub and Kaban wind farm that currently supply electricity to the grid and are expected to reach full commercial operation later this year.
