Mining Generators in Canada

Mining operations require continuous, reliable power in remote and challenging environments. ETAC Power supplies generators for mining, including diesel and natural gas solutions, designed for off-grid and compliant operations in Canada. From open-pit sites to remote camps, we deliver solutions built to handle dust, vibration, and extreme cold.

Power Challenges in Mining Operations

Mining operations often run far from the grid, with energy-intensive equipment and 24/7 demand. Key challenges include:

· Remote locations with limited or no grid access

  • High-energy loads from drills, crushers, pumps, and camp facilities
  • Harsh operating conditions: – 40 °C cold, dust, and vibration

Reliable mining power solutions are essential to keep production running.

Diesel Mining Generators

Diesel remains the industry standard for mining power:

  • Dependable off-grid solution for remote sites
  • Easy fuel transport and storage
  • Power ranges from 500–3000 kVA to support heavy equipment and camp needs

Reliable & CSA-Compliant Mining Power Solutions

ETAC Power’s mining generators meet Canadian safety and compliance standards:

  • CSA compliance for mining applications
  • Cold start capability down to – 40 °C
  • Paralleling systems & remote monitoring for redundancy
  • Heavy-duty enclosures to withstand dust, shock, and vibration

Case Solutions in Canada

  • Solution 1: A remote mining site could rely on a diesel generator paralleling system, ensuring off-grid power with built-in redundancy.
  • Solution 2: A large open-pit mining operation might adopt a natural gas solution for continuous runtime while reducing fuel costs.
