Our Managing Director Hamish Moffat and Chairman Doug Walker had the honour of joining Federal Resources Minister Madeleine King and WA Mines Minister David Michael at the official opening of Liontown Resources Limited’s Kathleen Valley lithium operation. 

In October last year, Zenith commissioned the 95MW hybrid power station that powers the site with approximately 80% renewable energy.  

The system – one of the largest of its kind in Australia – integrates solar, battery energy storage, thermal generation, and the country’s largest off-grid wind farm, to support Liontown’s commitment to decarbonisation. 

As Australia’s largest independent power producer, we are proud to support mining companies in achieving their sustainability targets and driving Australia’s broader energy transition, with innovative, reliable and renewable energy solutions that make a real difference.

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.

June 24, 2025

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.

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.
