Power generation companies are increasingly using alternate sources of energy such as natural gas, nuclear power, and renewable to produce clean and sustainable electricity. The decreasing cost of installation of renewable sources of energy is also driving the use of these sources for power generation. This is expected to act as a restraint on the demand for coal in power generation. According to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA), coal's share of the total world energy consumption is expected to decline from 22% in 2040. Renewable is expected to be the fastest growing energy source, with their consumption increasing at an average rate of 2.3% per year till 2040. The continuous shift to alternative sources for power generation will restrain the mining market. The use of renewable energy is helping mining companies reduce power costs and control emissions in the mines. As the solar or wind projects are built close to the mine sites, the cost of connecting to the power grid is also reduced. Site-appropriate renewable energy sources are reliable, consistent, and also economical. BHP and RioTinto have started using renewable energy sources in their mines. According to a report published by EY, RioTinto aims to generate 10% of 20MW – 25MW power demand from renewable energy in one of their mines and expects to reduce its diesel use by approximately 4 million liters, and its CO2 emissions by 12,000 tons. Also, in 2020, Rio Tinto approved the development of a large-scale solar photovoltaic and battery storage system for its western Australian Koodaideri mine. The solar plant will be one of Australia's largest photovoltaic installations at a mining site once completed.
