Energía Argentina Sociedad Anónima (ENARSA) is a private company created by the Argentinian government to manage the country’s energy resources. In November 2013, ENARSA asked Energyst to put together a power solution for Guaminí, a rural town in the Buenos Aires province that was blighted by periodic energy cuts during periods of peak consumption. And just one month later, an extraordinary heat wave made the situation even more critical.

Whilst a new power plant is being built to definitively supply the necessary power to meet both the business and domestic power needs of Gibraltar, the Gibraltar Electricity Authority (Gibelec) has relied on Energyst for a temporary power generator solution with maximum guarantees.

Of course, that makes Energyst feel proud. This copper mine processes approximately 230 kilotons per day of copper ore. It’s only logical, that this copper mine depends heavily on power supplies. But when this power is supplied through the existing, vulnerable regional grid… a degree of uncertainty arises that is – understandably – unacceptable to our client.

It’s the problem the Société Nationale d’Electricité (SNEL) were facing when they contacted Energyst. Why? SNEL could not supply the required 12 MW for the first stage of the expansion of mining operations called ‘The Kipoi Copper Mining Project’, let alone the additional 16 MW for later expansion. The national grid could only deliver 4 MW.

In 2014, one of the world’s largest oil and gas companies – operating in 37 countries, employing almost 36,000 people worldwide and with their head office in Norway – asked Energyst Norway to provide a comprehensive, temporary power solution for their brand new, state of the art oil platform.
