As a result of its recent energy and climate change report, Newmont, one of the world’s largest producers of gold, is hoping to forge partnerships with international power companies interested in renewable projects. Environment Director Mike Aire provides detail and insight in an interview published this week.
Great quotes from the article include:
“What we need partnerships with international power companies that can construct and operate local power plants in developing countries.”
“Our number one opportunity is solar energy in our Tanami, Australia operations. We’d like to put in an 8-10 megawatt plant there.”
“We don’t want to build our own power plants….we want partners that will build the power plants, supply our needs for a new mine, and leverage those monies available to enhance the economies of these developing countries or provide renewable energy for developing countries.”
