AVIVA CORPORATION BOOSTS EXECUTIVE TEAM

 

Aviva Corporation Limited (ASX:AVA), an integrated energy company, today took a further step toward being a major energy supplier to the WA market, with the appointment of Mr Richard Harris to its executive team.

 

Mr Harris will play a key role in the development of Aviva’s exciting baseload power project in the Mid West region of WA, and joins Aviva as General Manager Development.

 

Mr Harris has nearly 30 years experience in corporate affairs and advisory positions in both the private and public sector. He has extensive experience in the WA resources and energy industries and has reported directly to senior levels of the Government on policy, reform, and project approvals. He was a Director of the Office of Energy and held senior positions in the Major Project Department.

 

Most recently Mr Harris was WA Director of ERM Power and Newgen Power where he was responsible for approvals, licensing off-take agreements and external affairs. He was project director for the 330MW Neerabup peaking development due to commence operation in 2009. He also provided strategic advice on the 320MW Newgen Kwinana combined cycle baseload development now being constructed.

 

“Mr Harris is eminently qualified to progress the approval and development of a baseload power station in the Mid West. He has first hand experience in the new WA power market as a market participant, and was instrumental in navigating the first baseload and peaking plants through the new regulatory framework. His skills and experience provide a great fit for Aviva at this stage in its growth strategy,” Mr Reed said.

 

The centrepiece of Aviva’s strategy is a 2x200MW baseload power station in the Mid West region. Fuel for the project will be sourced from the Central West coal deposit near Eneabba.

 

“This is a $1 billion project which will utilise the lowest cost fuel for baseload power generation in WA and will be a key to unlocking the economic potential of the Mid West,” Mr Reed said.

 

Mr Reed said the appointment of Mr Harris follows the appointment of Mr Mark Chatfield to the Aviva executive team in May. He said the company will make further senior management appointments as the project progresses.

 

“With key management in place, we are now focussed on taking the baseload power development to financial close by the end of 2008,” Mr Reed said.

ABOUT AVIVA

 

Aviva is listed on the Australian Stock Exchange with its head office in Perth. The company is growing a portfolio of energy assets. Aviva’s most advanced asset is the Central West project in Western Australia.

 

The Central West project is ideally located in the northern half of the SWIS power grid to take advantage of demand growth both in the SWIS and from new resource projects in the Mid West Region.

Aviva is studying the feasibility of a 400MW baseload power station in the Mid West.

 

Aviva is earning a 90% interest in the Mmamantswe project in Botswana where it is drilling a target of 600Mt of coal. The project is well positioned, being on the South African border and adjacent to key infrastructure including, highway, railway, and high voltage transmission lines.
