The turbines are spinning at Bellevue

July 11, 2025

The four wind turbines at the Bellevue Gold project have now been installed and commissioned, with reliability testing completed.

Standing 212 metres tall with a rotor diameter of 165 metres, these 6MW turbines represent another step forward in Australia’s mining energy transition.

In partnership with Bellevue Gold, Zenith Energy has developed an innovative 90MW hybrid power station that combines solar, wind, thermal generation, and battery storage. The system enables operation on 100% renewable energy when conditions allow – and we recently recorded a milestone 58 hours of ‘engines off’ operation powering Bellevue Gold’s mine, processing plant, offices, and village.

This energy solution supports Bellevue Gold’s ambition to become Australia’s first net zero (Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions) gold producer.

A new milestone that reinforces our commitment to delivering high-performance, sustainable energy solutions with real impact.

This prestigious international recognition celebrates organisations driving meaningful progress toward a low-carbon future. Winning this award positions Zenith among global leaders in energy innovation and sustainability.

Our commitment to delivering Australia’s highest renewable energy fraction in off-grid mining operations has set a new industry benchmark. This milestone reflects the strength of our strategy, our people, and the trusted partnerships we’ve built with clients working to decarbonise their operations.

Thank you to Reuters Events and to all those supporting our journey. The transition is real—and we’re proud to be leading it.

A powerful tribute to Tjiwarl Culture at Bellevue

Tjiwarl Culture at Bellevue

At the Bellevue Gold Project, a fuel storage tank at our power station has become a canvas for a striking mural by local Aboriginal artists Regina Newland and Delvene Patch from the Tjiwarl community. Their artwork brings to life a Dreamtime story, of Partjarnja (pronounced “bar-jun-ja”).

This mural is more than art; it continues a commitment to reconciliation and cultural recognition and will be a daily reminder of the land’s deep cultural roots, and the respect owed to its Traditional Custodians.

We’re honoured to celebrate and support Tjiwarl heritage in partnership with our team and the local community.

Export Finance Australia has published a Case Study featuring Zenith Energy and our ongoing journey to deliver hybrid power systems to remote mine sites across Australia.

Zenith Energy integrates renewable sources – including solar, wind and battery storage – with thermal generation to help clients decarbonise their operations and operate more sustainably. Our innovative solutions enable mine sites to operate using up to 85% renewable energy, cutting emissions and improving energy efficiency in remote environments.

To support the rapid growth of our hybrid renewable projects, Export Finance Australia participated in a $1.9 billion syndicated refinancing, that helped secure funding for our next phase of growth. This collaboration reflects the confidence that Export Finance Australia – and the wider finance community – have in our capabilities.

The 6MW Goldwind turbine blades for the Mt Weld Hybrid Power Station have arrived at the Port of Geraldton and are now being transported to site.
Once installed, the 24MW wind farm will become a key component of the approx. 65MW hybrid power system developed by Zenith Energy for Lynas Rare Earths—combining wind, solar, gas, battery storage and synchronous condensers into a single integrated solution.

With engine-off capability and a ~70% renewable energy target, the system supports Lynas’ transition from diesel to a firmed renewable energy supply.

Another step forward in powering responsible mining.
