With an installed capacity of 133MW, the project represents Fortescue's first operational wind energy development and forms the basis of a broader wind energy portfolio planned for deployment during this decade.
Part of the broader Pilbara Renewable Energy program
The Nullagine wind energy project follows progress at Fortescue's Cloudbreak solar farm, where more than 300,000 photovoltaic panels have already been installed as part of the group's Pilbara renewable energy program.
The project will include 17 wind turbines supplied by the Chinese energy company Envision Energy. The turbines are designed for low wind conditions and are designed to withstand extreme weather events, including cyclones typical of the Pilbara.
They will use self-healing tower technology from Nabrawind, which Fortescue recently acquired. Using the Nabrawind Nabralift system, the turbines will reach a height of 188 meters, setting a new global benchmark for onshore wind and significantly increasing energy production.
A prototype turbine using this integrated design has already been installed at Envision's test facility in China and is scheduled to be relocated to the Pilbara in June 2026.
