Inca One unit Chala completes power line construction
Momentum Public Relations
Press Release: July 07, 2017
Inca One Gold Corp. has received verification from its wholly owned subsidiary Chala One, that construction of its new industrial power line has been completed. Initial tests and inspections by SEAL, the regional power supplier for the power line, have also been completed successfully. Chala One anticipates connection to the Peruvian national power grid imminently.
Since purchasing the original processing plant in 2013, Chala One had to rely on diesel fuel for power generation. It was not until Chala One had attained its final beneficial operating permit in January, 2017, to become a fully formalized company that its application for the necessary permits connecting the plant to the national power grid could be approved.
Construction of the two-kilometre power line at Chala One began in March, 2017, and is now complete, on time and on budget. Chala One estimates a 70-per-cent energy cost reduction as the plant shifts from diesel to electric power.
“We identified opportunities early on to reduce costs at our commercial operations,” stated Inca One president and chief executive officer, Edward Kelly. “But executing these changes required a beneficial permit. Energy savings is a necessary component of profitability. The installation of this power line and connection to the power grid will have a positive impact on our bottom line in the coming quarter.”
