AngloGold to add wind, solar capacity at Tropicana mine

Gold miner AngloGold Ashanti has entered into an agreement with Pacific Energy to build one of the largest renewable energy projects in Australia’s natural resource sector, and to integrate it into the power supply for the Tropicana mine, in Western Australia. Pacific Energy will build and operate 62 MW of wind and solar generation capacity at the site. AngloGold expects the use of renewables will help it reduce its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse-gas emissions.
