Key trends:
- 2019: Gold Fields' energy spend was 20% of Opex (13% of AISC), US$300m
- Rising energy demand and costs across all operations due to deeper mines, longer haulages and declining grades
- Transitioned to low-carbon gas
- Independent power generation facilities rather than grid dependency
- Renewable energy gradually being rolled-out at most operations
