Picture an interconnected world where renewable energy and mining go hand-in-hand in our world-wide journey to achieving net zero emissions. Mining not only requires a great deal of clean energy to operate, but also to deliver critical minerals to help organisations further develop renewable energy technologies, such as solar panels, inverters, batteries, transmission lines, and wind turbines.

LEADING EXAMPLE: BHP’s Northern Goldfields Solar and Battery Storage Facility. In the heart of Australia’s Northern Goldfields, BHP and renewable energy provider TransAlta have built one of the world’s largest off-grid mining solar and battery energy solutions. This ambitions project catapults BHP to its goal of decarbonising operations by 30% before FY2030.

SMA’s vital role: Delivering cutting-edge, robust PV and battery inverter technology with an extensive track record in harsh, off-grid, remote environments.

Green fields, bright future 🌞🌱

This is the case for the farmers of Gadewadi, a village in the Sahyadri hills of Maharashtra, India.

A solar-powered water pump is now helping them overcome the recurring challenge of lack of irrigation, enabling them to cultivate 1.5 hectares of land. The solar-powered pump was installed by SMA Solar - India, Gram Oorja and the NGO Shashwat Trust Junnar.

The village of Gadewadi is located in a region that is flooded by heavy monsoon rains for two to three months of the year. During the rest of the year, farming was not possible and the farmers had to work as seasonal labourers – far away from their village. A heavy burden. Now, thanks to the new water pump, there is enough water to farm all year round and families can stay together.

The success of the Gadewadi model is inspiring farmers in other villages. More than ten groups of farmers have already visited Gadewadi to learn about the irrigation model and what solar energy can do for them.
