Recognising the pivotal role that the mining sector plays in Australia’s economy; EPT is committed to delivering unparalleled support and UPS solutions tailored specifically for this industry. Our efforts are focused on providing innovative, sustainable, and reliable power solutions to ensure that the sector can thrive while transitioning to greener energy practices.
Participation in the Energy and Mines Summit
As part of this commitment, we were excited to be one of the participants in this year’s Energy and Mines Summit, themed “The Decarbonised Mine.” This event has brought together industry leaders, experts, and stakeholders to discuss and devise strategies for reducing the carbon footprint of mining operations. Our team engaged in progressive discussions on collaborative decarbonisation strategies as well as overcoming obstacles to achieve net-zero targets.
As we wrapped up the week, we were energised by the discussions centred on sustainable mining operations. The theme “The Decarbonised Mine” was not just a topic of discussion but a call to action, and we were proud to contribute to this crucial conversation.
Our CTO, Graeme Bassula’s Presentation
A highlight of our participation was Graeme Bassula, EPT’s very own CTO representing our expert insights on navigating the transition to decarbonisation. Graeme delivered a compelling presentation on the pivotal steps necessary to de-risk the transition to green energy. The thoughts and insights he shared focused on EPT’s innovative strategies to maintain a continuous and reliable power supply across Western Australia— crucial for mission-critical assets and safety infrastructure.
Key Takeaways from the Summit
The conference has offered many insights into the future of mining. From the latest in renewable energy technologies to advanced storage solutions and low-carbon fleet transitions, the discussions have highlighted the multifaceted journey towards significant emissions reductions. Here are some key takeaways:
- Renewable Energy Integration: The transition to renewable energy sources, such as solar and wind, becoming an essential part of the mining industry. These sources offer a sustainable alternative to fossil fuels and help reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- Advanced Storage Solutions: Reliable energy storage systems are critical to ensure a continuous power supply. Innovations in battery technology and other storage solutions play a pivotal role in managing the intermittency of renewable energy sources.
- Low-Carbon Fleet Transitions: Transitioning to electric and hybrid vehicles within mining operations can significantly reduce carbon emissions. This shift also involves developing infrastructure for charging and maintenance.
EPT’s Role in the Transition
EPT’s role in this transformation is clearer than ever. We are poised to support the mining sector with targeted solutions that cater to the unique challenges of decarbonisation. Our expertise in ensuring reliable power and our commitment to innovative, sustainable practices can help drive the industry forward.
Reliable Power Solutions
One of the critical components of successful decarbonisation is maintaining a reliable power supply. At EPT, our goal is to ensure that mining operations have access to continuous, quality power. Our services include:
- UPS Backup Power Solutions: Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) systems are essential for maintaining operations even during power outages. These systems provide backup power to ensure that mission-critical operations and safety infrastructure remain operational.
- Power Protection Solutions: Protecting sensitive equipment from power surges and fluctuations is vital. Our power protection solutions safeguard mining operations from electrical disturbances that could cause downtime or damage.
- Power Efficiency Solutions: Our UPS systems and Backup Power Solutions are designed to meet the specific needs of the mining industry, providing robust and reliable power solutions to support sustainable operations efficiently and effectively.
