Horizon Power Denham Hydrogen Demonstration

closed

The Horizon Power Denham Hydrogen Demonstration project will demonstrate the ability to incorporate renewable hydrogen into a microgrid with solar and diesel in Denham, Western Australia. The current power supply assets in Denham are aged and much of the equipment has reached the end of its life. The remoteness of the Denham power station and the cost of operation have led Horizon Power to seek reliable, economical solutions that prioritise the use of alternative fuels and renewable energy.The Denham power station is supplemented by a wind farm and rooftop solar, which supply 30% of Denham’s energy, making it an ideal candidate for this demonstration project. The use of hydrogen to capture and store excess renewable energy and then convert it to electricity provides a viable alternative to the continued consumption of diesel.
