Lessons Learned and Next Steps for Mining Hybrids
Information
Mines no longer have to choose between lowest Levelized Cost of Energy (LCOE) and a higher renewable energy component as both can now be achieved with smart integration. This panel will provide critical insight on lessons learned from mining hybrids and next steps for high penetration renewables for remote mines.
● What are the main trends contributing to increased uptake of renewable and storage for mines?
● What lessons can be drawn from operational projects and hybrids under development?
● What challenges needed to be overcome to progress these projects and realize success?
● What are the key differences and considerations for mining and renewables experts when integrating a small vs large amount of renewable energy for a remote power system?
● With energy storage economics improving, will storage become standard for hybrid projects?
● What do mining and renewables experts see as the next milestones for energy innovation?
● Besides the obvious increased decarbonisation benefit, what other benefits come along with transitioning to higher renewable mix?
