On December 1, 2025, BYD Energy Storage successfully delivered and installed a 250MWh BYD Magic Cube energy storage system tailored for the Ford River Pilbara mining area, helping the region achieve green transformation.

The natural environment in the Pilbara region is harsh, and the mining area previously relied entirely on diesel generators for power supply, resulting in high energy consumption costs and high carbon emission intensity. BYD Energy Storage supplies 48 sets of BYD Rubik's Cube energy storage systems to the mining area, using leading energy storage dedicated blade batteries with a total capacity of 250MWh. It can store renewable energy generated during the day and provide green power to the Pilbara energy transmission network at night, providing safe and reliable clean power support for the production and operation of the mining area and important guarantee for the stability of the power grid in the region.

This is an important moment for Forbes River, as we are transitioning the mine's power supply from fossil fuels to a solution that combines renewable energy with energy storage systems, achieving a fundamental transformation of the energy structure. These battery energy storage systems allow us to store solar energy and use it when needed, reducing the consumption of fossil fuels and gradually transitioning the mining area to a renewable energy based operating mode

BYD energy storage products are known for their high safety, reliability, and excellent performance, and can operate efficiently in high-temperature environments in the Pilbara region.

Yin Xueqin, General Manager of BYD's Energy Storage and New Battery Business Unit, said, "Ford River is leading one of the most ambitious decarbonization plans in the industry, and BYD is honored to support its green transformation. The battery energy storage system project at the North Star junction is an important milestone in our cooperation, and we will continue to work closely with Ford River to provide the large-scale energy storage solutions needed for decarbonization in the Pilbara region

This cooperation is an important starting point for the coordinated development of both parties. At the same time, the 190MW cloud cut photovoltaic power generation project jointly developed by both parties is accelerating its construction; At the beginning of 2026, BYD Energy Storage will create a 120MWh energy storage system solution exclusively for the Fordshi River Eliwana mining area project, continuously expanding the application scale of clean energy in mining scenarios.

Against the backdrop of accelerating global energy transition, the green transformation of mining as a carbon intensive industry is crucial. As a leading enterprise in the global energy storage field, BYD Energy Storage relies on its profound technological accumulation and rich project practice experience to actively promote the large-scale application of energy storage technology in high carbon industries. BYD Energy Storage will continue to drive green development through technological innovation and work together with global partners to create a sustainable future.Editor/Cheng Liting
