Ampcontrol: Future-Proofing Mines with Smart Electrification Solutions #340
The shift toward electrified mining is accelerating, challenging an industry long built around diesel-powered equipment. Moving large, isolated operations onto electric infrastructure raises tough questions about reliability, scalability, and keeping production steady during the transition.
In this Mining NOW episode, host Jerrod Downey speaks with Jordan Armstrong, Ben Maytom, and Chris Lodge from Ampcontrol about how these challenges are being addressed in active mining environments. The conversation focuses on practical solutions, including high-capacity charging systems such as Ampcontrol’s MegaWatt Charger, a liquid-cooled platform engineered to operate in extreme heat while supporting continuous equipment use.
Drawing on more than five decades of electrical expertise, Ampcontrol outlines its approach to helping sites convert from diesel to electric fleets. Topics include modular power infrastructure, transportable substations, and large-scale collaborations with operators like BHP to deploy electrification projects safely and efficiently. The emphasis throughout is on integrating new systems in ways that protect uptime and improve operational resilience.
For professionals working at the intersection of mining and electrification, this discussion offers a grounded look at how the transition is unfolding in the field. Follow Mining NOW for additional interviews exploring the technologies shaping the sector’s next phase.
