Raglan mine, located in the Nunavik region of Quebec, is getting two new wind turbines to generate clean electricity, the federal government announced on Mar. 10 during the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada Convention.
With the Raglan Phase III scale up, the mining company hopes to add an additional six megawatts of power per year (with each turbine producing three megawatts), while reducing CO2 emissions by 7,200 tonnes and saving over six million litres of diesel annually.
