Mining Energy and Fleet Electrification

Energy infrastructure for mines, electric trucks and industrial transport.

Electric trucks only work if the energy behind them is planned as carefully as the fleet. We design the charging and energy system around how your vehicles actually operate:

  • Demand and duty cycles: how far, how heavy and how often each vehicle runs
  • Routes and charging windows: when vehicles can stop to charge without losing production
  • Charger locations and grid capacity at each one
  • Phased implementation, so charging grows with the fleet
  • The solar, batteries and grid support needed to run the system reliably

Plan around production and vehicle availability

We model the existing mine load together with the proposed fleet, including simultaneous charging demand and expansion plans. The result is the supply capacity each stage of the rollout needs.

Connect on-site generation with fleet charging

Charging supply is assessed across grid electricity, on-site solar, storage and wheeled renewable energy, according to cost and availability requirements. Chargers and electrical equipment are selected for vehicle compatibility, duty cycles, site conditions and the availability you require, at depot, workshop, pit and logistics locations.

Phase the investment with the fleet rollout

The first installation serves the first vehicles, with space and electrical capacity reserved for later phases. We price future expansion early so the first phase supports the long-term plan.

Example: support vehicles returning between shifts

When several electric support vehicles return between shifts, charging them all at once creates a new site demand peak. Staggered charge starts, priority for the earliest departures and available solar or storage keep that peak down while the fleet stays on schedule.

Heavy haulage and longer routes need a dedicated assessment of charger power, dwell time and energy availability with the fleet and vehicle suppliers. That assessment sets the generation, connection and charging programme.

One coordinated development plan

The energy and charging scope is developed with the mine, fleet supplier and specialist contractors. The plan identifies responsibilities, construction interfaces, commissioning requirements, maintenance and the supply arrangements needed to support operations.
