Gina Rinehart – Australia’s richest woman and a financial supporter of one of the country’s most fiercest critics of climate and renewables policy – is to have a 30MW solar farm constructed at her main iron ore mining operations to help it cut emissions.
Rinehart’s Roy Hill Iron Ore – 70 per cent owned by Hancock Prospecting – reveals the plans for the solar farm in a revised submission to the state’s Environmental Protection Authority outlining its Greenhouse Gas Management Plan as it seeks to lift production.
It says it has decided to build the 30MW solar farm in co-operation with Alinta Energy, the utility that operates the local grid, and which is completing the nearby 60MW Chichester solar farm for the Fortescue iron ore operations that is served by the same network.

We write to complain about the inaction of the Tema Office of the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) against an abandoned road construction causing dust pollution at Katamanso promiseland.
Several complaints have been made to the EPA by some residents for over a year and half but the situation is still the same.
Residents continue to inhale dust on a daily basis and children are at risk.
Inhabitants have also noticed that the stream in the neighbourhood has not been dredged and as a result, the area floods when it rains.
Structures have sprung up as close as 20 feet to the street.
