Decarbonisation at Eliwana

Eliwana is scheduled to be the first of our mine sites to fully transition away from fossil fuels, accelerating our decarbonisation efforts. With considerable investments in renewable energy infrastructure, this site is facilitating our journey to Real Zero. 

  • Battery Energy Storage System

    A 20MW/120MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) is under construction to provide renewable energy to Eliwana and Flying Fish. The BESS ensures a constant supply of renewable energy, as it stores energy during the day to release at night.

  • Transmission Lines Integration

    Construction has commenced of approx. 140km of 220kV transmission lines, and necessary substations, to supply both our Eliwana and Flying Fish mining Hubs.
