The Ngarluma people in north-west Western Australia have struck a landmark deal to construct a solar farm that will deliver jobs and economic growth in their community.

The collaboration between Traditional Owners of Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation, the WA government and Perdaman is the first project for Ngarluma's Green Energy Parks, a 100 per cent Traditional Owner-owned and operated business, which aims to develop fast and large-scale renewable projects on Country.

The WA government would provide $2.7 million in initial support so NAC could undertake surveys, approvals works, and technical activities in the next 12 months, which would eventually lead to activation of the first Ngarluma Green Energy Park.

The NAC-owned project will lead to employment, training and long-term economic benefits for the Ngarluma people and be constructed on NAC's Native Title determination south of Karratha, 1500km north of Perth.

Ngarluma Country encompasses coastal towns Karratha, Roebourne, Wickham, Cape Lambert and out to Whim Creek.

The area is home to much of the Pilbara's industry, including Rio Tinto Iron Ore, Dampier Salt, Woodside, Yara and Perdaman.

The 50-megawatt solar farm would feed into the common-use Maitland-Karratha-Burrup transmission corridor and aid activation of the Maitland Strategic Industrial Area.

The Burrup (Murujuga) Corridor is one of four priority corridors of the government's Pilbara Energy Transition Plan to accelerate decarbonisation of heavy industry in the region by connecting with renewable energy generation.

NAC director Belinda Churnside said it was targeting 5GW of renewable energy development in its Green Energy Parks.

"Ngarluma people are proud to be leaders in the development of the energy transition on our land," said Ms Churnside, who is also a director of Ngarluma Green Energy.

"Ngarluma Green Energy Parks will be a game changer for the fast and straight forward development of large-scale renewable projects."

Ms Churnside said the Green Energy Park was 100 per cent owned and operated by NAC for the benefit of Ngarluma people.

"We very much appreciate the support and partnership we have with Perdaman and the state government to help NAC activate the first Green Energy Park as soon as 2027," she said.

The Ngarluma Green Energy Park plan included obtaining tenure over the area, and offering subleasing arrangements to solar generation and battery storage proponents.

Potential for participation in solar and battery generation projects in the parks through joint ventures or other arrangements with solar developers were also possible.

Perdaman chair Vikas Rambal said the collaboration represented a shared vision and the solar farm was possible by working with Traditional Owners.

"I am proud to be working hand in hand with the Ngarluma people to transform the Karratha region into a global renewable energy hub and export engine of Australia," he said.
