For a second consecutive year Asian Power Awards have recognised Zenith Energy as Independent PThe first components of the four GW165/6.0MW Goldwind turbines have started arriving at the Bellevue Gold Project site, with the turbine blades successfully transported from Geraldton Port. This milestone marks significant progress in the development of the 88MW hybrid power station at the Bellevue Gold Project.

Zenith Energy, under a 15-year power purchase agreement, will finance, build, own, and operate the hybrid power solution, which consists of wind (24MW), solar (27MW), thermal (24MW), and a Battery Energy Storage System (15 MW/33 MWh). The innovative energy system also includes LNG storage and regasification, and synchronous condensers to stabilise the network. This hybrid solution will provide up to 80% of the project’s energy needs from renewable sources, aligning with Bellevue’s goal to become Australia’s first carbon-neutral gold producer.

The hybrid power station will operate on up to 100% renewable energy during periods of optimal wind and solar conditions, supporting Bellevue’s decarbonisation objectives by synchronising milling activities with renewable energy availability.

Since 2015 Zenith has quietly worked to develop the concepts needed to reduce emissions, while Zenith Energy is pleased to announce that commissioning has commenced for the Diesel component of the Mt Weld Hybrid Power Project for Lynas Rare Earths Ltd. This marks an important step in the journey towards delivering a cutting-edge 65 MW hybrid power solution.

The project integrates:
5 MW of backup diesel generation (now commissioning),
17 MW high-efficiency gas-fired power plant (Q1 CY2025),
7 MW of solar power (Q3 CY2025),
24 MW wind farm (Q1 CY2026), and
12 MW/12 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (Q3 CY2025)

Once complete, the power station will enable up to 70% renewable energy, including the innovative ‘Engine Off’ capability for 100% renewable operation when conditions allow. This transition supports Lynas Rare Earths Ltd decarbonisation goals and commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
