Adds details in paragraphs 2-5
July 22 (Reuters) -Australia's Lynas Rare Earths LYC.AX has signed a contract with power provider Zenith Energy for a new hybrid power station at its Mt Weld mine and concentration plant, the company said on Monday.
The hybrid power plant will consist of a wind farm, a solar farm and a battery energy storage system, with a total installed capacity of 65 megawatt (MW) once completed, the rare earths company said.
The facility will be supported by a 17 MW high efficiency gas fired power station and a 5 MW diesel standby generator as backup, Lynas said.
The hybrid power station is expected to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 60,000 tonnes of CO2-equivalent compared with a diesel only power station of the same size, Lynas said.
Zenith Energy will be responsible for financing, building, operating and maintaining the hybrid power station for 15 years, it said.
