Viscaria secures 45 MW of electricity ahead of mine reopening

Viscaria today announces that the company has signed a connection agreement enabling the delivery of 45 megawatts of electricity to support the Viscaria mine in Kiruna. The agreement represents an investment in the electricity infrastructure required to enable a sustainable mine start-up.

The connection agreement with Vattenfall Eldistribution allows for the supply of fossil-free electricity and aligns with Viscaria’s goal of becoming one of the five percent of the world’s copper mines with the lowest carbon emissions. Through deliberate technical choices –regarding vehicles, modes of transport, and suppliers – this goal can be achieved. A reliable and stable supply of fossil-free electricity is a fundamental requirement for operating a modern, electrified mining operation with minimal climate impact.

“We have high ambitions in everything we do. This agreement creates a strong foundation for a long-term partnership and marks an important step in establishing responsible copper production in northern Sweden,” said Jörgen Olsson, CEO of Viscaria.
