Bellevue Gold’s hybrid renewable power station, comprising 27 MW of solar, 24 MW of wind, battery storage and synchronous condenser, contributed 83.5% of the overall power demand during FY26, enabling the company to become Australia’s most renewably powered gold mine. The power station achieved a record with 100% instantaneous renewable energy for 155 consecutive hours.
