ASX Announcement
4 October 2022
COMPETITIVE LONG-TERM POWER CONTRACT SECURED FOR COWAL
Evolution Mining Limited (ASX:EVN) (“Evolution”) is pleased to advise that it has secured a competitive, longterm power supply agreement for its Cowal Gold Operation under a new eight year partnership with AGL Energy Limited (“AGL") commencing in January 2023.
Power costs represent approximately 7% of Evolution’s total costs. This agreement provides ongoing long-term security of power supply to Cowal at competitive pricing which is consistent with Evolution’s previously reported FY23 guidance and FY24 outlook. Importantly, this long-term agreement includes a renewable energy component.
Under the terms of the partnership with AGL, a growing portion of the power will be from renewable sources and provides Evolution a clear pathway to meeting its commitment to reduce energy (Scope 1 and Scope 2) emissions by 30% by 2030.
Commenting on the energy supply agreement for Cowal, Evolution’s Executive Chair Jake Klein said:
“This is a very important milestone for Evolution. In a very challenging energy market, we have been able to secure both a long-term, competitively priced power contract for Cowal and a growing renewable component that provides us a clear pathway to reducing our energy emissions by 30% by 2030.
“We will continue to look for new ways to further reduce emissions from our fixed plant and mobile equipment to deliver on our Net Zero commitment by 2050.”
Approval
This announcement is authorised by Executive Chair, Jake Klein.
