This week, Raglan Mine’s Director of Strategy, Projects and Public Affairs, Jean-Francois Verret, provides the latest update on the mine’s innovative wind-storage project for its Northern Quebec site. With the aim of reducing diesel costs, the mine is installing a unique energy system incorporating a 3MW wind turbine and a test bed of three energy storage technologies.
If the project goes well, the mine will consider installing additional turbines that could generate 9-12MW, slashing diesel consumption by 40%.
