Tivan Limited has signed an agreement with Larrakia Energy to supply up to 30 MW of renewable energy from 2026 to support Tivan’s planned Vanadium Electrolyte Facility at Middle Arm.
According to the Northern Territory Government, the collaboration is a significant step towards the Territory’s goal of being a leader in low-emissions energy and critical minerals processing.
“We look forward to the positive impact of this collaboration, as it drives economic growth, job opportunities, and sustainable energy solutions,” Minister for Industry Nicole Manison said.
“This puts Darwin on the map when it comes to the critical minerals and renewable technologies needed for the energy transition,” Minister Manison added.
The Middle Arm Sustainable Development Precinct is poised to drive clean energy innovation and economic growth, marking a significant step towards a sustainable future.
Tivan’s proposed large-scale Vanadium Electrolyte Facility in Middle Arm aligns with the concept of Northern Australia’s renewable value chain for long-duration energy storage.
Larrakia Development Corporation and Larrakia Energy, majority-owned by the Aboriginal organisation representing the Larrakia people, are key partners in promoting sustainable development in the region.
Larrakia Energy, in partnership with Australian and international partners, is constructing a 300 MW solar farm near Middle Arm, demonstrating their commitment to renewable energy.
Minister for Territory Development Eva Lawler welcomed the partnership, noting it enhances the Territory’s renewable energy value chain.
“This creates jobs for Territorians, in an inclusive way, that will see benefits across the entire Territory,” Minister Lawler stated.
“The Middle Arm Sustainable Development Precinct will be a global leader in the energy transition and is strategically important not just to Australia but our whole region,” she added.
