Hybrid power solutions for off-grid mines
Industrial hybrid power solutions
We partner with off-grid mines to provide an efficient, sustainable source of power to support demanding operations.
As mines are going deeper and more remote than ever before, finding innovative ways to keep costs and emissions in check is an ongoing challenge.
When there’s limited or no access to mains power, we provide hybrid power solutions and renewable energy designed to increase energy efficiency without capital.
In a single contract, we design, deliver, and manage your entire hybrid power plant. Providing gas or diesel generators, renewable energy sources, and smart battery storage, all in one package. As a result, we help off-grid mining companies to:
- Reduce or eliminate fuel costs from thermal power generation
- Reduce harmful emissions and improve environmental compliance
- Adopt renewable power for your mine
- Lower your operating and maintenance costs

Unlock energy efficiency with Aggreko’s industrial hybrid power solutions
Your hybrid power solutions may include a mixture of services and equipment, including:
- Hybrid power plant design from our team of engineering experts with extensive knowledge in underground mining and maximizing productivity in harsh, remote locations. Hybrid power plants combine the advantages of renewable energy (such as wind, hydropower, or solar) and battery storage with the reliability of thermal generators.
- A generator power transfer switch, integrated with a power generator. On sites that use more than one power source, a power transfer system allows you to switch between your generator and another source of power, while keeping each system electrically isolated. In mining contexts, this allows you to safely and easily switch between different power sources as your energy needs fluctuate.
- Thermal generators including gas and diesel units to power your off-grid mine when battery storage runs low or renewable energy sources can’t consistently match your requirements.
- Solar thermal hybrid systems combine conventional solar power, energy storage, and power from thermal generators. Offering lower costs of energy and zero emissions – our solar power is the ideal solution for customers who want to benefit from clean energy innovation without the need for long-term financial or technological investment.
- Battery energy storage systems (BESS) store energy from your renewable or thermal sources that can be repurposed later (for example, using solar energy produced during the day at night).
- Electrical distribution equipment to safely route the power your produce, including power transfer switch equipment to seamlessly move from one energy source to another.
- Installation, maintenance, and decommissioning services including flexible BOOM contracts where we tailor your power plant to suit your site, environment, and compliance requirements. In this way, we become critical investors in your plant and take responsibility for its continued operation and upgrades.
