Big Canadian Diamond Mine Rejects Hydropower , Chooses Diesel Gen-Set Power

摘要

Canada-based Stornoway Diamond announced July 4 that it has decided to employ diesel generator-set power rather than investing Cdn$173.6 million (US$170.4 million) in a 159 kilometer-long grid-power line connecting its Renard diamond mine to a Hydro-Quebec hydropower station. The proposed Hydro-Quebec powerline “has been designed to support multiple users, including potential mine development projects located to the south of Renard,” according to Stornoway.
