Stream 1: Workshop – Chile Energy
- How do high energy costs in Chile undermine the
competitiveness of the mining sector, and how could cost-effective energy
strategies restore margins and project viability?
- Why do imported fossil fuels, transmission
bottlenecks, and remote mine locations drive up delivered electricity prices,
and how can grid reinforcement and smarter planning reduce these structural
costs?
- In what ways do elevated power prices endanger
low-grade and marginal deposits,
and how can efficiency measures and better contracting frameworks keep these
projects economically feasible?
- How can long-term
renewable power purchase agreements (PPAs) in solar- and wind-rich northern Chile help
miners secure lower, more stable and lower-carbon
energy?
- What transmission, storage and grid-flexibility solutions are
needed so that variable renewables can reliably meet mining’s 24/7 demand and
