By Luca Ceschinelli – The mining industry has historically relied on two primary energy sources to power operations – onsite diesel generators and grid electricity. While these traditional approaches provide a baseline of energy, they come with drawbacks with proven limits in resilience and environmental sustainability. Diesel generators have been a staple of mining operations for decades. Grid ElectricityMany mines supplement onsite diesel with grid electricity imported from public utilities. While diesel and grid power enable baseline operations, they fall short of providing true energy resilience and offering environmentally friendly power for modern mining needs.
