Wheeling touted as viable option for mines facing electricity supply challenges

While mining operations require reliable power on a continuous basis, whether in remote locations, or in developed areas, load-shedding, poor quality power and weak grids are forcing mines to consider alternative sources of electrical energy. Consequently, juwi South Africa MD Greg Austin believes electricity wheeling can be a key alternative and should be properly considered as a material solution to the energy requirements of mines in South Africa.
