Energy transition strategy for the mining sector

Our experts’ solutions

BBA experts began by assessing existing power systems and future needs to establish short-, medium- and long-term strategies. Then, they performed an in-depth analysis of available technology based on several criteria, such as investment costs, operating costs, power availability, environmental impacts and the material and human resources that would be required. To do this, information was gathered from numerous resources.

BBA’s solutions leveraged local renewable hydropower resources, while reflecting the client’s ambitious GHG reduction targets and expected business growth. Overall, this will reduce their current reliance on fossil fuels like heavy fuel oil, diesel and coke as well as electrify the industrial process and boiler rooms. Consumers who use large amounts of energy require extensive power supply facilities, so we recommended building a high-voltage power line with a capacity of over 1,000 MW to meet their new electricity needs.
