Cleaner & Renewable Energy Solutions for Mining

Clean energy at every stage of the mining lifecycle

We become long-term power partners to provide clean energy solutions for the life of your mine.

Driven by robust Environmental, Social, and Governance expectations, every mine is on the path to a cleaner, greener future. But we understand that mining is a business defined by uncertainty – and a sudden switch to renewable energy isn’t always the answer. Instead, mines need a single partner they can trust to deliver an effective cleaner energy solution now and adapt to changing priorities over the mining lifecycle.

Aggreko supports mining companies with cleaner energy solutions that bring together best-in-class equipment under a single agreement. We make it easier to:

  • Switch to renewable energy and reduce your emissions
  • Plan your energy transition strategically to reduce risk
  • Meet regulatory requirements including Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) standards
  • Save your capital to use more effectively in your business

Aggreko’s difference: mining energy solutions with flexibility at their core

Going beyond equipment, we provide a complete range of turnkey energy services designed around your mine and your Energy Transition progress.

Innovative energy

Innovation is at our core. We first entered the mining industry in 1991 with the world’s first 1MW system in a modular container – and today we’re leading the market with cleaner and more efficient hybrid solutions.

Global knowledge

As an independent power producer and investment partner, we’re active at more than 300 mines globally.

Sturdy and reliable

Our solutions include equipment redundancies to provide power during planned maintenance as well as emergencies.

Safe and compliant

We’re MSHA-approved and practice a strong culture of HSE compliance, ensuring we meet your specific HSE requirements.

Access cleaner energy sources with Aggreko

  • Power generation and electrical distribution equipment including diesel, gas, and dual-fuel generators. Our power solution designs and operating practices provide a reliable power supply to keep you in business from day one. All of our power solutions can be used independently from or alongside the grid. Mining companies also use our generators to power the construction and commissioning phase of their renewable energy initiatives.
  • Natural gas generators with lower emissions than their diesel counterparts and significantly lower fuel costs. We provide APG, CNG, LNG, and LPG generators on any scale.
  • Hybrid power plants which combine the advantages of renewable energy (such as wind, hydro power, or solar) with battery storage and the reliability of thermal generators. Our hybrid power plants lower your cost of energy, reduce your maintenance costs, and bring emissions down.
  • Solar power solutions for mining from floating arrays to mobile solar solutions – the ideal solution for customers who want to benefit from clean energy innovation without the need for long-term financial or technological investment. We’ll tailor a solution based on your environment and ESG ambitions, then deliver and operate that solution for as long as you need, anywhere in the world.
  • BOOM cleaner energy solutions where we take full responsibility for Building, Owning, Operating, and Maintaining your energy solution or microgrid. With no capital outlay, we become active investors in your project to enable eco mining and adapt your energy as your project evolves.

Aggreko’s Greener Approach: The advantage of insight

At Aggreko, we’re proud to be leading the Energy Transition and helping resource-intensive organizations find smarter, cleaner ways to work. We constantly invest in efficiency and strive to reduce emissions from our equipment.

At the same time, our service delivery model enables mines to achieve their Energy Transition goals sooner. Beyond our equipment, we provide flexible models for mines to outsource their entire energy activity to our expert team. We’ll take care of everything–from rightsizing a solution around your environment and operations to planning ahead for the inevitable changes throughout the life of your mine.

Our greener approach means you can:

Reduce harmful emissions
(CO2, NOx, PM)

Reduce noise pollution

Reduce fuel consumption and associated costs

Ensure reliability and efficiency

  • Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) – that deliver the ultimate performance efficiency by enabling you to store and consume power more flexibly. We integrate BESS into your mining operations to support your Energy Transition goals.
  • Natural Gas generators – that can provide power on any scale while dramatically lowering your emissions and fuel costs. We’ll work with you to align your generators with your Energy Transition ambitions and Net Zero targets.
