Fortescue has initiated the construction of a multi-gigawatt green grid in Pilbara, targeting a complete transition to fossil fuel-free operations by 2030. The company is developing a 690 MW solar farm and a 132 MW wind farm, with plans for an overall capacity of 1.4 GW solar and nearly 1 GW wind, alongside 4.5 GWh of battery storage.
Fortescue's bespoke green energy systems aim to cater to third-party customers, including data centers, with an investment nearing $1 billion. The company seeks amendments to the Mining Act to enable power sales to non-mining customers. Major tech firms are reportedly interested in low-cost green energy from Fortescue's operations.
