Accelerating Fortescue’s Green Grid
Bringing forward large-scale renewable power across our Pilbara operations.
We’re building the world’s largest off-grid system dedicated to decarbonising heavy industry.
Lower costs. Less volatility. Greater control.
This is Real Zero in motion.
Moving faster on the path to Real Zero.
We’re accelerating delivery of the Pilbara Green Grid to bring renewable energy online sooner across our operations.
This means earlier access to large-scale renewable power, earlier reductions in fossil fuel use, and earlier benefits in cost certainty and energy security.
While our Real Zero target remains 2030, this announcement brings forward key milestones, delivering impact sooner, where it matters most.

Powering operations without fossil fuels.
A major step forward. Delivered earlier.
By late 2027, the Green Grid is expected to enable 24-hour periods where Fortescue’s operations run without fossil fuels.
This marks a fundamental shift in how heavy industry can operate, demonstrating that integrated renewable energy systems can deliver reliable, continuous power at scale.
It’s a critical milestone on our pathway to Real Zero, brought forward through accelerated delivery of the grid.
Built for scale across our operations.
A fully integrated system powering the entire Pilbara network.
