Kamoa Copper Expands Green Energy with New 30 MW Solar Deal
Kamoa Copper Expands Renewable Energy Strategy with 30 MW Solar PPA and 581 MWh Battery Storage in DRC
Kamoa Copper and Green World Energie have signed a second Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for an additional 30 MW of renewable energy capacity, marking a major milestone in Phase II of their solar energy development project.
The initiative is designed to strengthen the energy supply for the Kamoa-Kakula mining complex while accelerating the site’s decarbonization efforts.
The new phase of the project will deploy an advanced hybrid energy solution that combines solar photovoltaic technology with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS).
The facility will feature an installed solar capacity of 200 MWp alongside 581 MWh of battery storage, enabling a stable, resilient, and reliable baseload power supply for mining operations.
By integrating renewable and low-carbon technologies into its operations, Kamoa Copper continues to reinforce its commitment to sustainable mining development in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).
The partnership with Green World Energie reflects a shared vision of building a cleaner and more energy-secure industrial future.
“The mining and energy sectors are the two pillars of the DRC’s economic development. Innovative initiatives such as this are essential for creating a more resilient industrial future,” company management stated.
The project aligns with Kamoa Copper’s long-term strategy to position itself as a global leader in environmentally responsible copper production.
As demand for critical minerals continues to rise worldwide, the company aims to support the global energy transition through sustainable and low-emission mining practices.
