EnviroMission ( ASX: EVM) is an Australian company founded on 2 November 2000 [1] [2] [3] as an Australian public company. [3] It has, since 2001, proposed to build a solar updraft tower power generating station known as Solar Tower Buronga in western New South Wales at a site 25 km northeast of Mildura. As of 12 February 2007, EnviroMission claimed to be conducting feasibility studies to build a tower or towers in Texas. [4] None of these projects have progressed beyond the planning stage. [5]
In 2008 the company merged with US-based SolarMission Technologies, Inc. [6]
EnviroMission has begun moving forward to build two 200 MW solar updraft towers in Arizona. [7] In October 2010, they received approval from the Southern California Public Power Authority to sell electricity generated from the facilities. [8] EnviroMission lost a deal with the Southern California Public Power Authority after EnviroMission was unable to guarantee a completion date of their solar tower. As of 2014, construction had not begun. [9]
The company has been delisted from the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX) since April 2016.
