EORA Energy and Tulla Group form joint venture for integrated energy infrastructure at Norseman gold mine

Type: Partnership · Technology: Hybrid · Country: Australia · Announced: 2026-10-01

EORA Energy and the Tulla Group have formed a joint venture to progress a pipeline of energy infrastructure opportunities across mining, data centres, distribution networks, hydro generation, and remote communities in Australia. The partnership will design, supply, finance, and integrate battery storage solutions with high-efficiency solar generation, intelligent energy management systems, and existing diesel generation coordinated by an optimization management system. The JV will kick off at the Tulla Group's Norseman gold mine accommodation operation in Western Australia's Kalgoorlie / Goldfields region, approximately 188 kilometres south of Kalgoorlie and 639 kilometres east of Perth. The collaboration aims to reduce generator run-hours, fuel consumption, and peak demand through a fully-integrated system combining battery storage, solar, diesel generation, and grid supply. The companies plan to expand beyond EORA's battery expertise to develop EPC and energy-as-a-service (EasS) capabilities, reducing the challenge of acquiring upfront capital for new energy infrastructure.
