In the latest Issue of Mining Magazine, Stantec experts discuss mining towards renewable energy. Don Erpenbeck (Global sector market lead), Mark Cordell (Dams & Hydropower Lead—Australia), and Craig Scott (Hydropower and Dams Sector Leader—UK & Europe) were the main authors of the article which focuses on developing former mine sites into pumped storage projects. In a time when the efficient use of energy resources is a significant societal demand, pumped storage offers the reliability that grid operators rely on.
