One of the turbines has already been commissioned and is undergoing it is reliability run.
These turbines form part of the new 65 MW Hybrid Power Station that Zenith Energy is delivering for Lynas. The station combines gas, solar, wind and battery storage to provide reliable power while significantly reducing emissions.
When fully operational, Mt Weld will be able to run in engine-off mode during periods of high renewable generation — meaning the site can operate entirely on renewables for extended periods.
The installation of the turbines is a key step in moving towards that goal and in supporting Lynas Rare Earths’ decarbonisation pathway.
