Wedoany.com Report-Oct. 5, Envision Energy and Fortescue have entered a strategic partnership to advance industrial decarbonization, beginning with a 132 MW wind turbine supply contract for Fortescue’s iron ore operations in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The collaboration supports Fortescue’s Real Zero target to eliminate terrestrial fossil fuel emissions from its operations by 2030.

The Pilbara project will utilize Envision’s EN182-7.8MW turbines, mounted on 188-meter Nabralift steel towers, noted as the tallest of their kind globally. These turbines are designed for low-wind conditions and to withstand extreme weather, including cyclones, ensuring reliable performance in the region’s challenging environment. The project marks one of Australia’s first large-scale deployments of this technology, setting a standard for renewable energy infrastructure by optimizing generation capacity and efficiency.

Announced during the United Nations General Assembly in New York in September 2025, the agreement establishes Envision as Fortescue’s strategic partner for wind and energy storage solutions. The collaboration spans the supply chain, including power generation, storage, and grid optimization, to support sustainable industrial operations.

Fortescue’s decarbonization strategy includes deploying 2–3 GW of wind and solar energy, supported by large-scale battery systems and dedicated transmission links. The Pilbara project represents the company’s first significant wind energy initiative, contributing to its broader goal of demonstrating cost-effective, continuous renewable energy systems for industries with high decarbonization challenges.

The partnership is expected to enhance the reliability and efficiency of renewable energy in the Pilbara region, supporting Fortescue’s operations while contributing to local economic growth through infrastructure development. By integrating advanced wind technology and storage solutions, the project aims to provide a model for sustainable industrial practices globally.
