Solar PV, Wind Power, Geothermal, Fuel Cells, and Solar Thermal
in the Global Mining Industry: Market Analysis and Forecasts

The mining industry is under continued pressure from shareholders and external stakeholders to reduce dependence on traditional energy resources. In countries where mining represents a significant percentage of gross domestic product (GDP), it can also be a significant draw on the country's electricity grid infrastructure. Even through the global economic downturn, interest in the deployment of renewables remained. Now the industry has reached a tipping point and is transitioning from using solar, wind, and other renewable energy technologies in demonstration projects to an increased focus on larger scale deployments. When combined with the increased use of innovative finance mechanisms, such as power purchase agreements, the use of renewable energy in the mining industry will pick up significantly in the medium term.

Drivers for the adoption of renewable energy in the mining industry are clear and include high levels of concern over the volatility of diesel prices, increased pressure from a number of government policies, and an increased need to reduce energy costs and carbon footprint. These external and internal pressures are combining to provide an expansion of market opportunities for renewable energy providers to work with mining companies. Navigant Research forecasts that renewable energy technologies will supply between 5% and 8% of the world's mining industry power consumption by 2022.
