POWERING CERTAINTY

INDEPENDENT POWER SOLUTIONS ARE HELPING AUSTRALIAN MINE SITES SECURE ENERGY WHILE ADAPTING TO CHANGING PRODUCTION AND SUSTAINABILITY DEMANDS, WITH AGGREKO HELPING TO LEAD THE CHARGE.

Reliable power has always been fundamental to mining, but as operations push further into remote regions their production is scaled and environmental targets need to be hit, and independent power solutions are becoming more important.

Independent power producers play a central role in meeting these challenges by allowing owners to focus on mining, removing the need for them to operate power assets themselves.

Aggreko exemplifies this model with its approach to proven solutions.

“We take full responsibility for designing, financing, constructing, operating and maintaining our power generation assets, so our customers do not need to commit large upfront capital or manage project delivery and operational risks,” Aggreko mining business development manager Mitchell Bevan told Australian Mining.

“By owning and operating the assets, we ensure reliability and performance throughout the lifecycle, while giving clients flexibility to scale as demand changes.”

Flexibility is particularly valuable in a sector where power demand can change rapidly. Aggreko’s solutions allow mine sites to scale generation up or down as required, while avoiding the risk of stranded capital.
