Glencore has already installed a 3-megawatt wind turbine at the Raglan site. The company is considering installing an additional 9 to 12 MW of wind energy capacity, which could cut the mine’s diesel consumption by 40 percent, Mining Weekly reported. Diesel consumption at the Raglan mining complex runs around 50 million liters annually, according to PVTech’s report. Glencore is looking to the Raglan project to assess the integration of wind power and energy storage at its other mines around the world." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Pull up & read more.
