dealing with a traditionally fragmented power indus- try through VECKTA, a digital marketplace where people and companies who want a DES can design, choose the technology, locate someone who can build, and finance the project. On-site advantages of DES include a reduction in energy costs, improved safety and business uptime, and reduced emissions, while ancillary benefits for the surrounding grid include voltage and frequency

capabilities allow us to help existing and new mines lower the environmental impact of their extraction and processing operations,” says Hull. With experience in delivering projects across the globe, Worley can easily tap into its breadth and depth of expertise to tackle complex challenges in the southern African mining sector, as well as the rest of the world. The impact Worley’s work has on the environment is controlled through its Sustainable

As the complexities of bringing renewable energy onto existing distribution networks increases, Worley can provide agile, resilient solutions through its Distributed Energy Systems.

Worley’s MM&M operation is globally recognised for its deep- level shaft experience.

Solutions process, and this can be put to action on a project in any stage and regardless of its size. “For example, as the complexi- ties of bringing renewable energy onto existing distribution networks increases, our customers require more agile, resilient solutions. Worley can provide this through our Distributed Energy Systems (DES). We have already delivered over 2 000 new energy projects locally and globally and are rec- ognised as a leading player in the transition to distributed energy sys- tems,” says Hull. These solutions are designed to optimise complicated, multi- streamed energy systems easily and cost effectively. Worley also offers a revolutionary way of
