Nickel remains an integral mineral to make certain electric vehicle (EV) batteries, so it comes as no surprise that Tesla is looking to increase its supply as EVs grow in popularity. On Wednesday, New Caledonia mining company Prony Resources announced that Tesla agreed to buy 42,000 tonnes of nickel in a multi-year deal with the - Nickel
The scheme for the energy transition of New Caledonia (STENC) adopted in 2016 targets ambitious objectives, with in particular 100% of the public distribution of electricity from renewable energies by 2025, this will actually be achieved in 2023.
New Caledonia Energy is the entity responsible for developing the project for the new power station that will supply the energy for Société Le Nickel (SLN). The current power station is nearly 50 years old and is highly polluting. The ultimate goal is to have a carbon-neutral plant by 2030, which would be a world first in the mining sector.
That slammed the nickel industry-reliant economy. New Caledonia’s mining industry is struggling to compete against Indonesia, the world’s largest nickel producer, due to decades of export restrictions and high energy costs that have made its nickel more expensive and less profitable to produce.
Noumea, December 20, 2021 – TotalEnergies will develop a series of photovoltaic and energy storage projects in New Caledonia in order to deliver decarbonized electricity via a 25-year renewable power purchase agreement (PPA) for the industrial operations of mining and metallurgy consortium Prony Resources New Caledonia.
The Caledonian Energy Agency's role is to implement the energy transition scheme set out by the government and to contribute to the development of the electrical system. It also promotes the rational use of energy and the development of renewable energies.
A participant in the global energy transition, Prony Resources sustainably contributes to New Caledonia’s development by processing its nickel and cobalt resources in accordance with the highest industrial and environmental standards.
