Energy security and cost is a major challenge for mines across Africa. Grid-connected mines are dealing with erratic power supply and rising tariffs while remote operators are managing volatile and increasing diesel and heavy-fuel oil prices. Add to this the increasing pressure for mining companies to meet ESG and climate goals, and the need to transition to sustainable, affordable and reliable energy is clear.

By offering low-carbon, reliable and cost-effective power solutions, renewable energy has a central and immediate role to play for African mines. Indeed, many mines are already moving forward with these solutions for remote and grid-connected operations but are, in some cases, encountering challenges around the permitting, regulatory approvals, and commercial structures of these projects.

Join 500 mining and energy professionals in the annual gathering for renewables, energy storage, electrification, hydrogen, decarbonisation, finance and ESG for mines in Africa. The 2022 event will be held online only to allow the global and continental audience to safely connect.

The Energy and Mines Australia Summit returns to the Westin Perth for the 6th edition in one of the world’s most dynamic markets for renewable energy, electrification and decarbonisation in mining.

The event brings together senior mining leaders with regional and global energy experts to showcase innovative case studies and discuss solutions for ensuring energy price security and power reliability for mines. Driven by high power costs, grid reliability concerns, and carbon reduction targets, Australia’s mining industry is actively investing in renewable energy options.

New and operating remote mines are assessing the cost-savings and carbon reduction benefits renewables offer when integrated with diesel and gas-powered generators. While grid-tied sites are reviewing behind-the-meter renewables options to counteract rising electricity costs and grid instability challenges. The event is the must-attend event for Australian mines aiming to benefit from low-cost, low-carbon energy options for their operations and processes.

The 10th annual edition of the Energy and Mines Toronto Summit will be in-person on November 1-2 and the Delta Toronto. The event will showcase the mines at the forefront of the transition to affordable, reliable and low-carbon power through in-depth case studies and interactive panel discussions. This year’s Congress will also provide mining and energy attendees with updates on key topics at the forefront of mining’s energy transition including net zero mining, renewables, energy storage, electrification, and decarbonising of material movement.

The Summit provides an opportunity for mining companies with global operations develop low-carbon and cost-effective mine energy projects.

The event is firmly established as the annual meeting place for mining and energy experts to network and explore new project opportunities. This year's 10th edition will focus on mining's energy transition to net-zero as well as the pathways to zero-emissions mobility.
