Mining
Delivering Reliable Power, from Prospecting to Production
Mining operations are often situated far beyond the reach of the traditional power grid, making a reliable on-site energy source essential. Diesel generators have long been the default, but come with rising fuel costs, logistical burdens, and high maintenance needs. NOMAD provides a mobile, powerful, and cost-effective energy solution that cuts fuel consumption and delivers reliable power wherever it's needed.
The Challenge: Powering Off-Grid Mining
Securing reliable and cost-effective power is a primary operational hurdle for mining projects:
- Extreme Locations: Mines are frequently located in remote, hard-to-reach areas where grid electricity is unavailable.
- High Fuel & Maintenance Costs: The expense of transporting diesel and maintaining generators 24/7 drives up operational costs.
- Variable Power Needs: Power requirements can change drastically, from the initial prospecting phase to full-scale operations.
- Sustainability Goals: The industry faces growing pressure to reduce its environmental footprint and cut emissions.
The NOMAD Solution: Flexible and Efficient Power
NOMAD's mobile energy storage systems are engineered for the demanding needs of the mining industry:
- Slash Fuel Consumption: In a hybrid setup with a diesel generator, NOMAD can reduce total annual fuel costs by up to $200,000 and maintenance costs by $51,000. The generator runs efficiently to charge the battery, which then provides silent, emissions-free power.
- Pair with Solar: Create a completely emissions-free, low-cost power system by pairing NOMAD with solar PV arrays.
- Scalable Power: Deploy exactly the amount of power needed and easily scale up as the mining operation grows.
- Reliability On-Demand: Deliver consistent power for critical operations, ensuring productivity and safety.
