Miners turn to batteries to clean up energy use

The benefit of energy storage. Although many mines are located in sites with good wind or solar resources, they have been limited in how much renewable energy they can use due to the intermittency of the wind and sun. Mining groups are increasingly addressing this by adding battery energy storage systems (BESS) to renewable energy facilities.
