Efficiency that changes the equation.

Eliwana was designed differently from day one.

Commissioned in 2020, its advanced low-profile plant can direct load up to 5,200 tonnes of ore per hour. Faster movement. Lower energy use. Long-term operational efficiency built into the system from the start.

Located in Nanutarra in Western Australia’s Pilbara region, on Puutu Kunti Kurrama and Pinikura Country, Eliwana is now helping lead the next shift in heavy industry.

Built for performance. Built for what comes next.

Where fossil fuels get replaced

Eliwana is one of the first sites in our network being designed around renewable energy systems at scale.

Battery storage and transmission infrastructure are reshaping how heavy industry gets powered.

This isn’t theory. It’s energy infrastructure built to keep real operations moving.

    Energy stored. Power on demand.

    A 120MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) captures renewable energy generated during the day and delivers power back into operations when it’s needed most. Daylight in. Diesel out.

  • Power connected.

    More than 140 kilometres of 220kV transmission lines connect Eliwana and Flying Fish to our Green Grid, helping move renewable energy directly across operations. Built to deliver reliable power. Built to scale what works.
