For us, it’s not about recognition or individual accolades.

It’s about creating an environment where talented people can do their best work, building trusted partnerships with our customers, and having the confidence to keep innovating as Australia’s energy landscape evolves.

That’s why we’re pleased to see our Managing Director, Hamish Moffat, recognised in the 2026 Business News Power 500.

Those who know Hamish know his leadership has always been grounded in the success of the team around him. Over more than a decade, he has helped shape Zenith Energy‘s growth by backing great people, fostering long-term relationships and maintaining a clear focus on delivering reliable, flexible and increasingly lower-emissions energy solutions for customers across Australia.

While the recognition sits alongside Hamish’s name, it reflects the contribution of many including the people who come to work every day to solve complex energy challenges, our customers who place their trust in us, and the partners who continue to support our journey.

Congratulations, Hamish, on this well-deserved recognition. We look forward to continuing to build the future of energy together.

Strengthening emergency preparedness through collaboration

Rescue Training

July 14, 2026

Zenith Energy’s Operations team recently joined Bellevue Gold’s Mine Rescue Team to complete a mock emergency response exercise during a maintenance training day. This simulated scenario was designed to test our skills and to be better prepared for any real-life emergencies at the Bellevue Gold operation.

Working together, the teams successfully completed the exercise, which was a positive outcome and demonstrated strong collaboration between Zenith Energy and Bellevue Gold. It reinforced the importance of joint training and strengthened our shared capability to respond effectively to potential emergency situations. 

A great example of teamwork, preparedness and continuous improvement in action.

Tanami Milestone

June 25, 2026

A significant milestone for the Tanami site: a 138,000 kg Wärtsilä engine has been safely transported, offloaded and positioned inside the Zenith Energy’s DBS Power Station. Once operational, the engine will contribute to reliable power generation to support operations at Tanami.

The engine was transported more than 3,700 km from Fremantle to the Tanami site over 10 days. The route across Western Australia, South Australia and the Northern Territory included a final 80 km section on challenging unsealed roads.

This achievement reflects outstanding planning, teamwork and collaboration between Newmont Australia, Zenith Energy and logistics contractors Milton Alternative Lifting/Tutt Bryant Group Limited.

Zenith Energy was proud to be a Host Sponsor of the Business News Energy Sector Briefing: The Future of Energy in Perth.

The event brought together leaders from across government and industry to discuss the opportunities and challenges shaping Western Australia’s energy future — from reliability and affordability through to decarbonisation and long-term investment in infrastructure.

We thank the Hon. Amber-Jade Sanderson MLA, Minister for Energy and Decarbonisation, for her keynote address and insights into the State Government’s priorities for the sector, alongside contributions from representatives across the energy industry.

As Western Australia’s energy landscape continues to evolve, forums like these play an important role in bringing together different perspectives and encouraging practical, constructive discussion across the sector.

Thank you to Business News and everyone who attended and contributed to the conversation.

Bellevue Gold power station 155 hours

June 05, 2026


clock1min

In early May 2026, Bellevue Gold achieved 155 consecutive hours of engine-off operations — more than six and a half days running entirely on renewable energy.

This is a significant milestone, not only for the project, but for what is possible in the Australian energy sector and demonstrating nation-leading progress in renewable energy for remote mining operations.

We’re proud to support Bellevue Gold on this journey through our 90 MW hybrid power station, which brings together solar (27 MW), wind (24 MW), battery storage (15 MW / 33 MWh) and thermal backup.

The system is designed to meet at least 80% of site energy needs from renewables, and moments like this show what that looks like in practice – especially with the right weather conditions.

It is another step forward in Bellevue Gold’s journey as the world’s first net zero (Scope 1 and Scope 2) emission gold mine.
