Accelerating Fortescue’s Green Grid
Bringing forward large-scale renewable power across our Pilbara operations.
We’re building the world’s largest off-grid system dedicated to decarbonising heavy industry.
Lower costs. Less volatility. Greater control.
This is Real Zero in motion.
Moving faster on the path to Real Zero.
We’re accelerating delivery of the Pilbara Green Grid to bring renewable energy online sooner across our operations.
This means earlier access to large-scale renewable power, earlier reductions in fossil fuel use, and earlier benefits in cost certainty and energy security.
While our Real Zero target remains 2030, this announcement brings forward key milestones, delivering impact sooner, where it matters most.
What we're delivering, when.
What we're delivering, when.
By early FY27 - ~290MW renewable generation
By late FY27 - 24-hour renewable electricity for Pilbara iron ore processing
2028 - Real Zero Green Grid complete
At completion - System capacity at scale
1.5GW solar, 900MW wind, 4–5GWh battery storage. Delivering reliable, dispatchable renewable energy across the Pilbara.
Powering Pilbara iron ore processing with renewable electricity.
A major step forward. Delivered earlier.
By late FY27, Fortescue expects to operate its Pilbara iron ore processing facilities using 24-hour renewable electricity, supported by solar, wind and battery storage.
This marks a fundamental shift in how heavy industry can operate, demonstrating that integrated renewable energy systems can deliver reliable, continuous power at scale.
It’s a critical milestone on our pathway to Real Zero, brought forward through accelerated delivery of the grid.
Built for scale across our operations.
A fully integrated system powering the entire Pilbara network.
24 hour
24-hour renewable electricity for Pilbara iron ore processing expected by late FY27.
4–5GWh
In battery storage, enabling dispatchable energy and supporting continuous operations.
1.5GW solar
Large-scale solar generation forming the backbone of the system.
900MW wind
Complementary generation supporting reliability and system balance.
