ABB: signs contract with Nouveau Monde Graphite in Canada

(CercleFinance.com) - Nouveau Monde Graphite has signed a contract with ABB for the supply, construction and commissioning of the 120 kV substation at its Matawinie Phase 2 mine in the province of Quebec, Canada.


Located 120 km north of Montreal, the Matawinie mine will be connected to the hydroelectric grid, providing access to clean energy to support mining activities and the production of carbon-neutral graphite concentrate for the lithium-ion battery market.

The connection to hydroelectric power guarantees a clean source of energy for what could become the world's first all-electric open-pit mine.

' We are delighted to be one step closer to building the mine of the future, powered by clean energy to responsibly extract and produce a mineral essential to global decarbonization', said Éric Desaulniers, founder, president and CEO of Nouveau Monde Graphite.
