Hybridising existing mine´s power delivers big on carbon, fuel and financial savings
- THE CHALLENGE
Remote mine with decarbonisation goal and reliable power need
- THE SOLUTION
Hybrid power package introduced to maximise efficiency
- THE IMPACT
Significant carbon, fuel and financial savings and a 10- year mine lifecycle extension
Client:Batutua Tembaga Raya (BTR) copper mine
Location:Wetar Island, Indonesia
Sectors:Mining
THE CHALLENGE
Remote mine with decarbonisation goal and reliable power need
Situated in a remote Indonesian island, BTR’s copper mine’s power requirements were currently solely met by thermal diesel power generation. Being their trusted power partner since 2015, Aggreko well understood their requirements.
Reliable and consistent power is crucial for this mine to ensure operational efficiency is fully maximised. Knowing that the Indonesian government was also pushing its mining industry to focus on the energy transition and the decarbonisation agenda, we spotted an opportunity to hybridize their current thermal power generation and facilitate the mine with decarbonisation while not sacrificing their operational productivity.
