Kibali, the largest gold mine in Africa, is now also one of Africa’s greenest and most impressively automated operations, which continues to stimulate local economic development and even provides ongoing funding for the reintroduction of white rhinos into a Unesco world heritage site in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). On the clean energy front, most of the electricity that drives Kibali is already supplied by its three hydropower stations and once Kibali’s new 16 MW solar power plant and additional battery energy storage infrastructure are commissioned, its overall renewable electricity supply is set to increase from 81% to 85%.
