Assessing Renewable Energy Options for Remote Sites: This discussion from last month’s Renewables and Mining Summit in Johannesburg brought together senior mining energy decision-makers from IAMGOLD, Zimplats, African Barrick Gold and Cronimet. The discussion is particularly interesting for renewables developers as most of the panel are looking to procure energy for projects and are examining renewables. The discussion provides some interesting insight in to the thought process, technical decisions and considerations that mines have when considering renewables.
