The company is in the final stages of negotiations on a long-term contract for the transfer of the mine to renewable sources. BHP expects that this measure will help reduce production costs.

In 2013, a law was passed in Chile, according to which, by 2025, 20% of the energy produced in the country should be generated from renewable sources. This resulted in a sharp increase in the number of renewable energy projects.
BHP also plans to completely stop the use of fresh water at the mine by 2030. Last year, the company opened a $ 3.4 billion desalination plant that uses seawater.
