Power generation specialist Pacific Energy Ltd is pleased to announce that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Pacific Energy (KPS) Pty Ltd, has secured a new electricity supply contract with Beacon Minerals Ltd. Under the contract, KPS will build, own and operate a 5 MW diesel fuelled power station at Beacon’s Jaurdi Gold Project, located 75 km north-west of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia. The contract runs for an initial term of 3.5 years.

Pacific Energy’s Managing Director, James Cullen said “We are grateful for the award of this contract by Beacon Minerals and look forward to contributing the energy component for this new gold project.” Beacon’s Managing Director, Graham McGarry said: “We look forward to working with KPS who will be an essential part of the Jaurdi Gold Project team.
