The Australia-based Electrical Mine Consortium is looking for lengthy length power storage options to assist with decarbonising its mining operations.
The grouping of mining corporations in addition to some power storage expertise teams are looking for suppliers that may deploy options at a number of of a number of mining websites all through Australia.
The power storage options could be thermal, electrical, gravity-based, chemical or every other sort.
The cut-off date for submitting an Expression of Curiosity (EOI) is 13 October at 5pm Australian Western Customary Time. The EOI will cowl small (underneath 50MWh), medium (50-500MWh) and huge (500MWh and over) options.

The Electrical Mine Consortium was based in 2021 with the ambition to speed up progress in direction of a totally electrified, zero-carbon and zero-particulates mining sector by resolving expertise decisions, shaping the provider ecosystem, influencing coverage makers and speaking the enterprise case.
The Consortium estimates that by 2030, the mining business in Australia alone would require 13x the estimated world power storage capability: 9710GWh versus an put in capability of 741GWh.
In addition to mining corporations, its members embrace Amazon Net Providers and gravity-based power storage answer firm Power Vault.
Most of the mines operated by its members are off grid and depend on on-site era from thermal, gasoline or diesel sources. A map of the Consortium corporations’ websites throughout Australia under (courtesy of the Electrical Mine Consortium).
