On November 19, 2024, Eramet Grande C\u00f4te<\/a> and JUWI Renewable Energies announced their collaboration to develop a hybrid solar power plant<\/strong>, equipped with a battery energy storage system. The plant will significantly reduce CO2<\/sub> emissions from Eramet Grande C\u00f4te’s mineralized sand mine in Diogo, northwestern Senegal. Commissioning is scheduled for 2025.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

The solar power plant will produce 20 MW of solar energy with 11 MW\/11MWh battery storage, ensuring a stable energy supply. It will generate energy savings of around 25,000 tonnes of CO2. In addition, the project will create employment opportunities <\/strong>for local communities, with training and skills development programs for workers.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

This project is in line with Eramet’s “Act for Positive Mining”<\/a> CSR roadmap, which sets ambitious targets for reducing carbon footprints <\/strong>and promoting sustainable mining practices<\/strong>. It is also aligned with the United Nations’ sustainable development goals<\/strong>, particularly in terms of combating climate change and promoting renewable energies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The clean energy produced by this plant will help improve Eramet Grande C\u00f4te’s environmental performance<\/em>. Our investment in this solar power project is in line with Eramet Grande C\u00f4te and Eramet’s commitment to sustainable mining and to accelerating the decarbonization of our industry<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
