Envision Energy has successfully connected the first AI wind turbine prototype in Australia at Fortescue’s Nullagine Wind Project in Western Australia’s Pilbara.
The achievement marks a major milestone in Envision’s presence in the Australian renewable energy market and underscores the potential of physical AI system to enable large-scale industrial decarbonisation across the country.

The project features 17 Envision EN182-7.8MW AI wind turbines, specifically designed for Australia’s mining and desert environments, local wind conditions, and stringent grid requirements.
The turbine integrates Nabrawind’s self-erecting tower technology with a hub height of 188m, setting a global benchmark for onshore wind and unlocking higher energy yield.
At the core of these turbines is Envision’s recently launched Dubhe Energy Foundation Model, the world’s largest Physical AI system.
Working in tandem with Envision’s Tianji Weather Foundation Model, Dubhe analyses vast real-world energy data streams to orchestrate renewable generation, storage, grids, and demand in real time.

Envision Energy senior vice president and president of international product Kane Xu said, “The grid connection validates the power of Envision’s Physical AI approach—proving that our AI wind turbines meet the world’s most demanding grid while maximising returns.
“Nullagine is more than a project; it is a scalable blueprint for industrial decarbonization and sustainable prosperity.”
