Jabiru Readying For Renewable Energy
51shares
While there’s still much uncertainty about the future of the Northern Territory mining town of Jabiru, it will be one powered by at least 50% renewables.
Situated around 250 kilometres east of Darwin and 300 kilometres north of Katherine, Jabiru was constructed in the early 1980’s to service Energy Resources of Australia’s (ERA’s) Ranger uranium mine located 8 kilometres east of Jabiru. The town and the mine are surrounded by Kakadu National Park.
ERA is ceasing processing of uranium ore at Ranger very early next year, and must complete all decommissioning and rehabilitation works by 2026.
