Cat® Electric Power is refining the mining industry
Powering your need for exploration, construction, or IPP services, Cat® Electric Power keeps your mine in full operation, while minimizing environmental impact. Your Cat dealer can deliver power solutions customized to fit your needs and sustainability goals.
Many mining operations take place in remote parts of the world where access to large electric utility feeds are unavailable or require significant investments in electrical transmission and distribution. Many sites have easier access to a natural gas power system infrastructure. For coal mines, CMM emissions can be significantly decreased through the recovery and use of drained gas.
Cat generator sets and power systems respond to the needs of the mining industry on its journey to go green.
