“To attract someone of Mike’s calibre is testament to the strategy and ambition the Company has to quickly become a leader in the Western Australian clean energy sector.
“Mike’s experience in developing projects, specifically in Western Australia over the past two decades, is exceptional. This experience in developing projects in Western Australia is invaluable as we look to quickly advance and commence construction on the Bristol Springs Project in 2022 in line with the Western Australian renewable energy strategy.
“I am truly excited and looking forward to working with Mike and the rest of the team as we set upon this exciting journey.”
Managing Director, Mike Young, commented:
“I’m very happy to be joining Grant and his team, a group who I have known for the best part of a decade. Clean energy has been my passion for the past decade and this appointment will apply my corporate experience into clean power generation and growth.
“The Western Australian government is proactively encouraging renewable energy projects, particularly in the State’s Southwest where our project is situated. We are strategically located directly adjacent to accessible power infrastructure and importantly, surrounded by potential customers. The parallels to the iron ore industry are substantial: namely a good asset with all important access to infrastructure.”
Bristol Spring Solar Project
Superior Lake has entered into a binding agreement to acquire a 100% interest in Bristol Springs Solar Pty Ltd which is developing a 105MW solar farm located southeast of Perth in Western Australia (“the Project ”) (the “ Acquisition ”). For further information on the Project and the Acquisition, please see the ASX announcement dated 14 October 2021.
The Project is a solar farm development project located in the south-west of Western Australia, south-east of Perth. Conceptual design work was undertaken and completed in July 2019 and preliminary engineering estimates were undertaken in September 2019.
The Project is consistent with the Western Australian Government’s renewable energy strategy, which is designed to remove barriers to investment and facilitate access to the Wholesale Electricity Market for new low-cost and cleaner technologies.
The Acquisition will result in a significant change to the nature and scale of the Company's activities. Accordingly, the Company will seek shareholder approval under ASX Listing Rule 11.1.2 at a general meeting and will also seek to re-comply with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules in accordance with ASX Listing Rule 11.1.3.
The Company’s securities will remain suspended until shareholder approval has been obtained and the Company has re-complied with Chapters 1 and 2 of the ASX Listing Rules.
