Energy and Mines Africa Virtual Summit, May 4-6

POWERING AFRICAN MINES WITH RENEWABLES

Energy security and cost is a challenge for mines across Africa. Grid-connected mines are dealing with erratic power supply and rising tariffs. Remote operators are managing volatile and increasing diesel and HFO 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. 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.

CONNECTING MINES WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY PROVIDERS

The Summit will bring together senior mining executives, global renewable energy experts and finance leaders to discuss the opportunities and challenges for renewables for mines across the continent.

ESSENTIAL FOR MINES:

• Operational results and case studies from recent renewables in mining projects
• Understand how mining leaders are making energy a strategic focus
• Navigating project finance options and commercial structures
• Connect with energy experts with first-hand knowledge and project success

ESSENTIAL FOR ENERGY AND TECHNOLOGY PROVIDERS:

• Understand the current energy challenges directly from mining leaders
• What do mines need from IPPs and EPCs to support project uptake?
• Learn more about the current project opportunities and potential business partnerships
• Hear from the regions top mining CEOs and regulators on this major energy transition
