Sharing Energy
At a Glance
- The shared use of power infrastructure refers to the leveraging of a mine or an oil and gas project’s demand for power to build a more robust power generation system for use by other actors in the host economy.
- By capitalizing on a project’s demand for energy, it is possible to contribute to national power generation facilities and increase access to electricity in remote areas where extractive industries operate.
- A Framework to Approach Shared Use of Mining-Related Infrastructure provides examples of the possible scenarios for power infrastructure sharing in the mining sector.
