The wind and solar project planned for the Pilbara region of western Australia, known as the Asia Renewable Energy Hub, has increased in size to 15 GW. The project, which was originally set to be a 9 GW facility, is backed by Andrew Dickson, Macquarie and Vestas. It aims to use renewable energy to produce green hydrogen for a growing domestic market and international demand from countries such as Japan and South Korea. The project will be delivered in phases over a decade after reaching financial close in 2023, said CWP Renewables from Andrew Dickson.
