Pivotal Engineering is proud to share our involvement in a landmark renewable energy initiative with one of Australia’s leading iron ore producers. This project marks the beginning of a series of renewable ventures that support their ambitious goal of achieving real zero emissions by 2030 in the Pilbara.
As part of a broader program delivering 2–3 GW of renewable energy generation, including large-scale solar and battery systems, Pivotal is contributing to the design, programming, testing, and commissioning of a 250 MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) located south of Port Hedland.
Our scope includes:
The Developing and commissioning the SCADA system using Ignition SCADA
Configuring and programming SEL RTACs for reliable control
Ensuring seamless integration across generation and storage assets
The BESS (50 MW/250 MWh) will play a critical role in balancing renewable generation with demand, strengthening grid stability, and reducing reliance on fossil fuels.
For Pivotal Engineering, this milestone represents not only our first major renewable project but also a significant step forward in supporting our clients, and Australia, on the path to a cleaner energy future.
