2. Energy has become a major operational cost and strategic focus for the African mining sector. Faced with
significant power disruptions and energy price hikes, mines are now reviewing their power options for grid-tied
and remote operations and assessing their options for renewables to reduce energy costs and secure power
supplies. Following last year’s sellout event, the Renewables and Mining Summit & Exhibition in Johannesburg
on July 1-2 will bring together the African mining sector and international renewables industry to discuss
solutions for addressing mining’s energy challenges across the region.

All across Africa mines need more energy at affordable prices. South African mines have experienced aggressive load shedding and opera-
tions across West Africa are dealing with utilities unable to meet their energy requirements affordably. Supply constraints are often exacerbated
by high electricity rates which are driving mines to consider supplementing their power needs with renewables. This session will focus on how
alternative energy solutions can play a role in addressing grid supply concerns and the practicalities around implementing these solutions.

11.20 SESSION 5: BUILDING FINANCE MODELS FOR RENEWABLES FOR MINES
How to structure financing for renewables for mines is one of the critical questions for this growing market. Mines are capital constrained and
some are also facing uncertainty from governments and utilities resulting in shorter-term, five-year business outlooks which complicates capital
investment. Mining executives are also seeing a wide variation in pricing and finance models for renewables solutions which has created some
confusion. For renewables experts, the quality of the offtaker and the life-of-mine can be major stumbling blocks for investment. This session will
examine how to overcome these investment obstacles and develop practical finance models for these projects.
