Kalgoorlie-Boulder’s power woes are finally getting a major upgrade as the state government teams up with mining giants to stabilize the grid. After years of crippling blackouts that hit businesses and critical mining operations, a landmark deal with Northern Star Resources promises up to 70 megawatts of backup power from their Parkeston site. With businesses like Lynas Rare Earths already suffering from frequent outages — averaging four per month last year — this move aims to prevent the devastating summer blackouts of the past. Northern Star’s future plans include a thermal station and a massive renewable energy hub with wind and solar, plus potential state-backed vanadium flow batteries. This collaboration signals a serious push to secure reliable, affordable power for one of Australia’s most vital industrial regions.
