Ua waiho aku ka mea hoʻomohala ikehu Australia ʻo Woodside Energy i kahi noi i ka Western Australian Environmental Protection Agency no ka hoʻolālā ʻana o 500MW o ka mana o ka lā. Manaʻo ka hui e hoʻohana i ka hale mana o ka lā e hoʻohana i nā mea kūʻai aku ʻoihana ma ka mokuʻāina, me ka hale hana ʻo Pluto LNG i hoʻohana ʻia e ka hui.

Ma nā palapala i hoʻokuʻu hou ʻia e ka Western Australian Environmental Protection Agency (WAEPA), hiki ke hōʻoia ʻia ʻo ka pahuhopu o Woodside Energy ke kūkulu ʻana i kahi hale hana mana o ka lā 500MW, a e komo pū kekahi ʻōnaehana 400MWh.
"Ke manaʻo nei ʻo Woodside Energy e kūkulu a hoʻohana i kēia keʻena o ka lā a me ka ʻōnaehana mālama pākaukau ma ka Maitland Strategic Industrial Area ma kahi o 15 mau kilomita ma ke komohana hema o Karratha ma ka ʻāina Pilbara o Western Australia," wahi a ka noi.
E hoʻolālā ʻia ka papahana mālama solar-plus-storage ma luna o kahi hoʻomohala 1,100.3-heka. Ma kahi o 1 miliona mau panela solar e hoʻokomo ʻia ma ka hale mana o ka lā, me nā ʻōnaehana kākoʻo e like me nā ʻōnaehana mālama ʻana i ka ikehu a me nā substation.

Wahi a Woodside Energy kamana lāHāʻawi ka hale i ka uila i nā mea kūʻai aku ma o Northwest Interconnection System (NWIS), nona a hoʻokele ʻia e Horizon Power.
