Breaking: Remote Gold Mine Powers Operations with 100% Renewable Energy for 3.5 Days Straight
In the heart of Western Australia's outback, Bellevue Gold Mine has shattered expectations by operating entirely on renewable energy for 84 consecutive hours. This groundbreaking achievement proves that even the most energy-intensive industries can transition to clean power – and if a remote gold mine can do it, so can your Australian business.

The Renewable Revolution in Australian Mining
What Happened at Bellevue Gold Mine?
In August 2025, this major Australian gold mining operation achieved what many thought impossible:
84 hours of continuous operation using only solar, wind, and battery power
Zero diesel or gas consumption during this period
First Australian mine to demonstrate extended 100% renewable operation
The Power Behind the Achievement
Bellevue's innovative energy system combines:
24 MW wind turbines capturing Western Australia's consistent winds
27 MW solar array – one of the world's largest off-grid mining solar installations
15 MW / 30 MWh battery storage providing reliable power through the night
Backup systems: 9 MW diesel and 15 MW gas (sitting idle during the record run)
Dramatic Renewable Energy Growth Timeline
The mine's renewable energy journey shows remarkable progress:
July 2024: 14% renewable energy
June 2025: 64% renewable energy
July 2025: 78% renewable energy
August 2025: 88% renewable energy
Target FY2026: 80%+ annual renewable energy
