Wind Fortescue has begun installing self-lifting wind towers at its Nullagine site, a technology that removes the need for giant cranes. The company is simultaneously deploying electric heavy machinery across its mining operations, with the first site scheduled for full decarbonisation this December.
Wind Bellevue Gold’s off-grid mine in Western Australia averaged a 75 per cent renewable energy share during winter, driven by a 51 MW wind and solar system. The facility ran 155 consecutive hours on 100 per cent renewables in May, supporting its claim as the world’s first net zero scope 1 and 2 emissions gold mine.
Wind The floating wind sector is prioritizing international technical cooperation as U.S. developers face stalled negotiations and high heating fuel costs in Maine. Recent activities include testing shock-absorbing mooring systems and sharing steel platform designs to advance the technology toward a 15-gigawatt national target.
Wind A trial at Macarthur wind farm found that laser-based wind forecasting significantly outperformed traditional methods in reducing regulatory costs. The study concluded that combining turbine and laser data offers the best path to minimizing financial penalties for inaccurate predictions.
Wind Windlab, Altra Energy, Heron Energy and Neoen have proposed almost 13 GW of wind and solar capacity on pastoral land west of Whyalla, more than quadrupling South Australia’s grid-scale ambitions. The state says the early-stage projects could help power new industry in the Upper Spencer Gulf.
Wind Lacour Energy has applied for approval to build a major wind and battery hybrid in Western Australia, with wind capacity ranging from 552 to 736 MW. The project includes a 500 MW battery system with up to eight hours of storage, aiming to support the state's transition away from coal.
Wind The Victorian government has granted state approval to the Warracknabeal Energy Park, a 1.5GW wind and storage project in the Wimmera region. The development proceeds despite Coalition policies that would have blocked it via a 2km buffer zone.
Wind Balranald Shire Council is urging night-time transport for oversized wind turbine components to protect caravan access to the town. The Baldon wind project in regional New South Wales involves 46 turbines with blades up to 90 metres long and tower sections significantly wider than local highway lanes.
Wind Hydro Tasmania has refurbished the 2.5 MW Huxley Hill Wind Farm on King Island, extending its operational life by at least a decade. The project, led by Entura, involved repairing storm-damaged turbines and refurbishing nacelles in Denmark.
Wind The Madhya Pradesh Electricity Regulatory Commission (MPERC) has adopted tariffs for 800 MW of wind projects, ranging from ₹3.98/kWh to ₹4.17/kWh. This move is expected to boost wind energy development in the state.
Wind After a record 6.05 GW in FY26, the MNRE says wind additions could hit 7.5–8 GW this fiscal as it targets 100 GW by 2030.
