The Gingerah Energy Hub brings together over a decade-long deep expertise and relationship-building in the Gingerah area.
Gingerah Energy, a partnership with the Karajarri Traditional Lands Association, the representative body corporate of the Karajarri People, is at the forefront of the energy transition by harnessing the natural resources of the western Great Sandy Desert with the support and wisdom of the Karajarri People.
This land has huge renewable energy potential making it ideal for power-intensive industries. New technologies such as AI are pushing the demand for larger data centre projects. The data centre industry is growing rapidly, balancing extensive land and electricity requirements with the necessity to develop sustainably. Gingerah Energy is well positioned as a modern data centre developer.
Data Centre Stage-gated Project Timeline
Land access and location
Situated on Vacant Unallocated Crown Land with access to major ports the Gingerah Energy Hub is ideally located in an area with manageable environmental sensitivities, the support of traditional owners, secure access to the site and proximity to major ports facing the Indian Ocean. Gingerah Energy proudly signed an Indigenous Land Use Agreement (ILUA) with the Karajarri Traditionally Owners in 2024 covering their entire 30,000 km² determination area.
Traditional owner owned
Gingerah Energy is working with the traditional owners of the land and the Western Australian Government to perform the site characterisation works required to define the project scope and concept in such a way that environmental impacts are net positive and sustainable. The Karajarri Traditional Lands Association holds equity in Gingerah Energy, ensuring productive collaboration and sustainable development.
Data Centres
Data centres are essential in the modern digitalised world. Growth in cloud computing, artificial intelligence, cryptocurrency, and other sectors are driving the demand for significantly larger data centres. This incredible growth is expanding the boundaries of the data centre industry, creating new opportunities where these colossal centres can be built to contemporary demands while operating in a sustainable manner.
Scale
The project size and climate are ideal for gigawatt-scale development from a mix of renewable energy sources. Gingerah Energy is undertaking feasibility studies to optimise data centre size and ensure the most effective balance of solar, wind and battery resources.
Sustainability
Harnessing the abundant renewable energy
resources of the Gingerah region including solar, wind and potentially geothermal energy in combination with battery storage to produce power a hyperscale data centre.
A combination of power generation methods will meet sustainability objectives. The project area has high levels of solar irradiance, reasonable wind speeds and elevated geothermal gradient; solar PV, concentrated solar, geothermal energy and wind energy will be combined to deliver reliable, cost-effective energy with the least environmental disturbance.
Water is sustainably sourced from deep aquifers and treated as needed.
