Abstract
The platinum mining sector of South Africa (SA) has been hit by the combined impacts of falling Platinum Group Metals (PGM) prices, labour strikes and escalating production costs. Therefore, in order for mines in the platinum sector to remain competitive, they need to reduce the energy consumption of electrical intensive mining equipment.
