JACKSONVILLE, Fla.,
July 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- APR
Energy plc (LSE: APR), a global leader in fast-track power
solutions, today announces that it has signed an extension for its
16MW power project supporting a mining customer in Guatemala. APR Energy's mobile diesel
generators have served as the sole power source for the crucial
operations of the mine, which operates independently from the local
grid system. The project, which began in January 2013, now is contracted to run into the
first quarter of 2016.
"We are pleased that the customer has again extended our
contract. It is a testament to our ability to safely deliver the
reliable power needed by energy-intensive operations such as
mining," said Tom Caldwell, Managing
Director of APR Energy's Americas region.
"Extractive industries typically require round-the-clock power
with variable load savings, and this project is one of a growing
list of successful solutions that we have provided to mining
companies and other industrial facilities around the world,"
Caldwell added.
APR Energy's power solutions for extractive and other industrial
companies also have included a 2011 project in Mozambique with
Vale, the second largest commercial mining company in the world;
one for a copper mine in northwest Botswana in 2012; and an ongoing project for a
mining company in the South Pacific.
