40.5 MW of self-generation for one of LATAM's largest copper mines
Ecuador's power shortages have pushed large industrial consumers to secure their own generation for the hours the grid cannot serve them. This plant is what keeps Ecuacorriente mining through those interruptions.
ENERGY33 led the financial, technical and legal structuring and operates the plant. Power Solutions N.V. supplied the equipment, installation and commissioning. The plant was built within months of the site becoming available.
After its first year, Ecuacorriente extended the arrangement by a further 16 months — taking committed service past two and a half years.
“We are excited to work with great partners like Power Solutions to co-develop projects throughout LATAM, and to become a trusted supplier to Ecuacorriente as they continue to develop their mine into one of the biggest and best in LATAM.” Brett Hall · CEO, ENERGY33
