Deal significance: Speaking about the transaction, Ms Denning said: “This deal demonstrates Korea Zinc’s strong commitment to renewable energy in Australia, and represents a major step towards its Sun Metals zinc refinery in Townsville sourcing 100 per cent of its energy from renewables by 2040.”

Mr Gough added: “We are delighted to have assisted Korea Zinc in reaching this significant milestone, and we look forward to continuing to work with Korea Zinc and Ark Energy to bring the MacIntyre Wind Farm to financial close.”
