Voltalia/IFC JV on power-to-mine
Paris-listed developer Voltalia has entered a strategic agreement with the World Bank's IFC to deploy power-to-mine projects, developing clean energy projects for mining operations in Africa.
The schemes will include hybrid solar and wind projects as well as battery storage systems and will be streamed via co-location or corporate power purchase agreements wheeled through national grids. The partners have not disclosed on what projects and with which miners they will start working.
