Our Green Grid

We’re switching off fossil fuels in the Pilbara. 

The Green Grid is how we do it – the world’s largest industrial, off-grid system designed to power our mining operations on renewable energy. End to end. 24/7.  

Lower cost. More control. 

This is Real Zero in Motion

The Green Grid connects solar, wind, batteries and transmission into one system built to cut fossil fuels out of our operations.

Not offsets. Not someday.

Real infrastructure. Running at scale.

Taking action now

Explore our Green Grid

Targeting completion in 2028, our Green Grid integrates 1.5GW solar, 800MW wind and 5GWh battery storage to power our Pilbara Operations and service growing demand for green power in the Pilbara, optimised through AI-supported energy management systems.

Built as one system

The Green Grid by 2030

Heavy industry doesn’t run on one power source. 
It runs on systems that can handle pressure.

The Green Grid connects solar, wind, batteries and transmission so renewable power can move across the Pilbara, not sit where it was made.

Generate it. Store it. Shift it. Use it.

That’s how renewable energy becomes industrial power - reliable, continuous and built for scale.

Inside the system

Every part has a job. Together, they keep renewable power moving across our operations, 24/7.

    Solar

    Large-scale daytime power, generated in the Pilbara and put straight to work.

    Wind

    Wind keeps the system working beyond daylight, helping balance supply when solar drops.

    Battery & Transmission

    Stores power. Moves power. Turns renewable energy into something heavy industry can rely on.

    Energy Intelligence

    Software making real-time calls on where power goes, when it’s used and how the system keeps performing under pressure.

What this changes

The Green Grid doesn’t just cut emissions. 
It changes the economics of how we operate.

For too long, heavy industry has relied on diesel - volatile, expensive and out of our control.

We’re replacing it.

Less exposure to global fuel markets. More control over our energy. Stronger economics from the ground up. 

  • Less Diesel Dependance

    Cutting exposure to volatile fuel markets and supply chains we don’t control.

  • More control over energy

    Generating, storing and managing energy across our system.

  • Built to cost less

    A more efficient system designed to reduce operational costs over time.
