Feb 21 (Reuters) - Rio Tinto Ltd (RIO) has signed a renewable power purchase agreement with specialist renewable energy firm Windlab to buy the majority of electricity from its planned 1.4 giga-watt wind energy project in Queensland, the miner said on Wednesday.
Rio Tinto will buy 80% of all power generated from the Bungaban wind energy project over 25 years, the world's largest iron ore producer said.
