Mining major Anglo American will buy up to 3TWh of renewable energy annually from Enel Generación Chile, a subsidiary of energy group Enel.
Effective 2021, Enel will power Anglo’s Los Bronces and El Soldado copper mines, as well as the Chagres smelter, for ten years.
Enel will use only renewable sources for this energy. The agreement, described as one of the most comprehensive renewable energy contracts in Chile to date, will enable Anglo to cut its emissions by 70%.
Anglo intends to rely entirely on renewable energy from 2021 and onwards.
