The Eastern Development Zone (EDZ) is a large‑scale renewable energy project led by Yindjibarndi Energy Corporation, comprising up to 1GW of wind generation, 500MW of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity, and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) infrastructure.
Located within one of the few designated Renewable Energy Zones under the Western Australian Government’s Pilbara Transmission and Energy Plan (PTEP), the EDZ is strategically positioned to support both new and existing energy infrastructure in the Pilbara.
The project is situated approximately 40 kilometres from the proposed Hamersley Range transmission corridor and 15 kilometres from major mining operations, providing strong integration potential with:
The EDZ is being developed as a flexible, staged project designed to respond to market demand, infrastructure availability and regulatory approvals, while supporting the long‑term decarbonisation of the Pilbara.
