Bellevue Gold mine in Australia operated for 155 consecutive hours on 100% renewable energy, exceeding its original design goal of 80%, using a hybrid power station combining 27 MW of solar panels, 24 MW of wind turbines, and 15 MW of battery storage. The mine aims to produce net-zero carbon gold by 2026 and become the first operational gold mine powered primarily by renewable energy.
