The world's first solar-diesel power station has opened in Western Australia's Pilbara region at Marble Bar, known for its record high temperatures. WA's Mines and Petroleum Minister Norman Moore opened Horizon Power's Pippunyah Solar Diesel Power Station yesterday. The $34 million station is powered by the biggest sun-tracking solar panel farm in Australia and is estimated to save 1119 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions a year and 35 to 40% of diesel consumption a year.
