1. "Power and Gas Supply
   
   It is estimated that the beneficiation plant would consume 2 PJ/a of gas for power generation and the hydrometallurgical plant would consume a further 21.8 PJ/a of gas for both power generation and thermal heating requirements.
   
   At full production the power draw for the hydrometallurgical process plant is estimated at 44 megawatts (MW) and 26 MW for the mine and magnetic concentrator.
   
   Power may be supplied by an on-site gas fired power station or other on-site power generation facility. If natural gas is selected as the preferred option, gas supply from the Amadeus Basin to Darwin Natural Gas Pipeline will be supplied via an off-take lateral running west to the mining area along the infrastructure corridor.
   
   Power at East Arm Wharf will be grid supplied."

   Gas has the inside running at the moment but alternatives are being sought for both the mine and the processing plant in Darwin.
   
   "EMC will conduct an alternative power study to assist TNG to assess Vanadium Redox Battery (VRB) storage technology and on-site renewable energy options for the Mount Peake mine and Darwin refinery sites. The objective of the study is to determine the viability of deploying VRB storage technology and renewable energy options to deliver a reliable and cost effective on-site energy solution. This will involve an evaluation of various renewable energy technologies as well as assessing the opportunity for funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA).
   
   An initial assessment by EMC has identified several viable renewable energy options, each capable of delivering clean, reliable and affordable energy to each of the TNG sites."
