Electric Mine 2025: real progress, real possibilities

What does the future of mining look like when ambition meets innovation? At Electric Mine 2025 in Chile, this translated into tangible outcomes. Hitachi Energy showcased what are the steps to reach the carbon neutrality.

Set in the heart of Latin America’s mining hub, the event brought together global leaders, engineers, and sustainability thought leaders.

Live demos, real conversations, and hands-on tech gave visitors a clear view of what’s possible when electrification and digitalization meet mining.

From voltage regulation to predictive maintenance, the technologies on show weren’t theoretical: they’re already in use. Tools and solutions like PCS 6000, STATCOM, and SVC Light are helping stabilize operations in some of the world’s toughest environments. And the feedback from operators? These solutions are making a difference.

Hitachi Energy joined two expert panels focused on electrical infrastructure. The questions were practical:

• How do you keep power reliable in remote, rugged terrain?

• How can digital monitoring help meet sustainability goals?

The answers came from experience: technologies like STATCOM and SVC Light are helping mining companies stay efficient and resilient. One major operator shared how these tools helped them manage reactive power and keep things running smoothly, even under pressure.

Electric Mine 2025 wasn’t just about technology, it was about teamwork. Hitachi Energy connected with copper giants and emerging players alike. A joint presentation with a leading mining company highlighted how collaboration can turn good ideas into measurable impact.

And the conversations didn’t stop when the event wrapped: follow-ups are already turning into strategic discussions around green transformers, trolley systems, and EconiQ roadmaps.

Mining is changing. Fast. And the shift toward electrification is a necessity. Hitachi Energy is committed to helping its partners navigate that change with solutions that are smart, scalable, and sustainable.

Electric Mine 2025 wasn’t just another industry event. It was a snapshot of what’s next—and a reminder that the future of mining is already underway.
