Mining companies have already moved to renewables. 70% saving on diesel consumption.
The high-tech Solar Energy Hub at Gold Road’s Yamarna exploration camp, 200 km east of Laverton, includes a 187kW solar photovoltaic array and a 408kWh TESVOLT lithium energy storage hub. The solar field will include up to 580 solar panels with 60 cells each.It is modular and scalable – meaning the complete system can be relocated, repurposed or expanded in the future. The renewable energy solution provides flexibility for Gold Road given the variable and transient nature of exploration. Gold Road's system will offset around 70% of the camp's diesel consumption and reduce carbon emissions by 211 tonnes annually.
