Solar generation now covers a substantial share of daytime load at remote camps, cutting diesel logistics into the altiplano.
Diesel delivered to a remote altiplano camp is expensive, exposed to road conditions, and carries an emissions cost across the whole haul. On-site solar generation now covers a substantial share of daytime load at our remote facilities.
The installation supplies camp services and low-draw process equipment during daylight hours, with generators retained for night load and peak demand. Fuel deliveries into the region have fallen accordingly.
The project supports the carbon-neutral commitment we hold across owned facilities, and it feeds the ESG screens applied to new investment decisions.
Further generation capacity is planned as load profiles at each site are measured over a full operating year.
