Introduction

Motivation – Limitation of fossil resources and increasing prices for energy annually persuades mining industry to substitute fossil for RE

Actuality – Mining industry considers of RE as a potential energy source

Introduction

(1) What is the share of energy from renewables in EU? (2) What is the evaluation of costs for RE implementation and for transmission and distribution systems? (3) What is the guideline for penetration of RE into the mining industry? (4) How can the political and economic system be positioned to improve the availability of electricity from renewables for the mining? (5) What investments are expected be involved for implementation RE in the mining?

Conclusions

(1)There are the economic advantages for penetration RE into the mining according to comparative analysis of LCOE of RE and fossil one and potential benefits of implementation RE in the mining;

(2) Evaluation of costs for RE implementation and for transmission and distribution systems is made;

(3)The guideline for penetration of RE into the mining industry is developed;

(4)RE integration system to the mining industry was suggested as a type of political and economic regulation;

(5)Mining companies have increasing opportunities to invest in RE
