The project aims to improve the environmental performance of the gold mine by reducing CO2 emissions while increasing capacity and production output
In South Africa, the local power grid struggles to maintain electricity supply throughout the day
often causing energy-intensive industries or mines to turn to polluting generators to avoid high costs
Coupled with Nidec Industrial Solutions' BESS
the South African mining company is expected to build a solar farm on the site and ensure continuous operation while reducing the carbon intensity of the electricity
The energy generated from the solar source will be used in the batteries as well as in the mine's power supply
provides for the installation of 43 converter blocks with batteries and power converters
with a total installed capacity of 40 MW and a storage capacity of 120 MWh
they are expected to meet the mine's average daily electricity demand and replace the diesel generators previously used
The converters for the BESS will be manufactured at Nidec Industrial Solutions' manufacturing facility in Milan
Final assembly of the system into the containers will take place at the Roche la Molière plant in France

Groupama-FDJ leader stays within striking range of his GC rivals as race approaches the mountains
Welcome signs that he'd returned to form accompanied a performance that kept him within a minute of the overall lead as the race approaches the mountainous terrain, where the Frenchman will feel very much at home.
Gaudu came to the Dauphiné uncertain about how he would fare, having suffered a high-speed crash on a descent during an altitude training camp in Tenerife last month. Although he only sustained cuts and other superficial injuries after hitting a stone in the road when descending at 70km/h, the incident left him unable to train as he had planned.
The ‘jagged feelings’ the climber said he'd had since the start of the Dauphiné meant he still went into the challenging time trial course at Roche-la-Molière not knowing what to expect, but was more optimistic after a powerful start to the 16.4 kilometre race against the clock. He finished in 29th place, 59 seconds behind stage winner Alexey Lutsenko (Astana-Premier Tech).
“I’m satisfied with that. It’s not my favourite discipline, and after the big crash I had on Tenerife I wasn’t really sure what my form was, but I feel like I’m back to where I was,” said Gaudu.
“It’s a shame that I had a few little cramps in the final three kilometres but in the end I’ve managed to produce a good time trial, and that gives me a lot of confidence bearing in mind that my goal is to finish as high as possible here at the Dauphiné. It’s also very reassuring looking ahead to the Tour de France.”
Gaudu described his sensations during the first 13 kilometres of the 16.4 kilometres as being as good as he’d ever experienced.

“It makes me optimistic because this is one of the first times that I’ve felt this strong in a time trial, of having that feeling of being able to push hard and getting the speed that that brings. It gives me real confidence,” he said.
Groupama directeur sportif Yvon Madiot was also pleased with how Gaudu and fellow climber Valentin Madouas performed.
“The end result was good. We’ve limited our losses compared to a lot of other climbers and we’re in just about the position we expected to be in. David did a good time trial, and he was just a few kilometres short of doing an exceptional time trial. I think the time he lost on the training camp affected him there.”
Gaudu is now in 19th place overall, one minute from the overall leader, Lukas Pöstlberger (Bora-Hansgrohe), and 51 seconds back from the leading GC contender, Ion Izagirre (Astana-Premier Tech), with the other rivals scattered both ahead of and behind the 24 year old.
“On to the next stage,” Gaudu said. “We will stay focused on the next two days, then there will be a beautiful and hard weekend.”

as Vingegaard showed no effects from recent Achilles issue
40 seconds down on race leader Lukas Pöstlberger (Bora-Hansgrohe)
said he was expecting “a little bit more” from himself in the 16.4km test.
“I couldn’t really find a good rhythm in the second half of the TT and I think I gave away too much time,” he said at the finish
he’d found it a difficult time trial to pace well.
“You just had to push as hard as you could on the uphill parts and try to recover a little bit on the downhills
so it was more about feeling than trying to ride to numbers
You can have some numbers in your head but it never comes out the way you want
I don’t really ride on my power meter in the TTs,” he explained
The Dutch climber said he expected the Dauphiné to run to form over its final weekend and for the GC standings to change considerably during two very challenging mountain stages.
Maybe the TT has set a little bit of a GC hierarchy now
but I think the two stages this weekend are perhaps going to turn the overall upside down again.”
The Dutch team’s co-leader Sepp Kuss
has been devoting considerable time to his time trial bike and described himself as “pretty happy” with his TT ride
but I think little by little I’m getting stronger in them
although it felt quite different on the bike to when we drove it in the car
I don’t know how our team fared compared to the others
but the race will change a lot in the next few days
We’ll have to see where we are tonight and come up with a plan.”
The team’s best performer was Jonas Vingegaard
who’s been struggling with an Achilles problem in recent weeks
but felt that his seventh place showed that good form is returning.
This year I’ve been doing quite good time trials until now,” said the Dane
“After Liège I got a small setback with my Achilles – just some inflammation
but I’m sure that for the Tour I’m going to be in really good shape.”
His role now will be one of helper for Kruijswijk and Kuss
“They’re in very good shape at the moment
Vingegaard added that following the Dauphiné
