• Diavik is completely dependent on diesel for all site power needs.• Hybrid power options sought to reduce cost and decrease GHG emissions.
Why Wind Power?
6
• Reduced power generation costs.• ~ $30 million investment with 8 year
payback.
• ~ 10% reduction in diesel power generation.
• > 4 million litres reduction in diesel usage per year.• Equates to around 100 truckloads per
year.
• 12,000 tonnes reduction in CO2 emissions per year.
• 6% overall reduction in GHG emissions.
What will Wind Power deliver?
7
• Four Enercon E70 generators.• 9.2 Megawatt installed capacity
• 2.1 to 6 Megawatt online capacity.
• 17 GWh power produced annually.
• Designed to operate to -40oC.
Diavik Wind Farm• Tower height 65m• Blade length 35m• Total height 100m• Generator weight 55 tonnes
