Gold Fields has awarded a contract to Goldwind to design, manufacture, and construct seven wind turbines for its St Ives gold mine, located 80 km south of Kalgoorlie, in Western Australia.

The turbines will form a 42 MW wind farm as part of the company’s A$296-million St Ives Renewable Energy project, which is set to become Western Australia’s largest renewable-energy initiative at an existing mine site.

The broader renewable-energy project also includes a 35 MW solar farm, currently under construction in partnership with Pacific Energy. The solar farm is expected to be completed in the first half of 2026. Once fully operational, the renewable-energy system will supply 73% of the St Ives site’s power needs and reduce the mine’s carbon emissions by about 50% by 2030.

Gold Fields principal specialist and project director Simon Schmid said the initiative forms part of the company’s wider decarbonisation strategy across its global operations in Australia, South Africa, Ghana, Canada, and South America.
