Electrovaya Inc. announced that it delivered a $0.7 million Lithium Ion 2.0 energy storage system for installation at Glencore Raglan Mine. Electrovaya worked closely with Tuqliq Energy Corp. and Hatch Ltd., who were the engineering coordinators in this project.

The Lithium ion battery system can accept and store energy from all sources including diesel generators, solar and wind. It is designed for remote communities and mines, which are off-grid and powered by diesel. Delivering diesel to remote sites can be expensive and occasionally fraught with uncertainties.

Glencore Raglan mine consumes 50 million litres of diesel annually.
