Reon Energises 12.5 MW Solar Project at Jhang Bahtar
Karachi, Pakistan – Reon Energy Limited today announced the Commissioning of its latest 12.5 MW captive Solar Power Project at Fauji Cement Company Limited (FCCL) in Jhang Bahtar, Punjab. The proposed move is a key step in commercializing a unit in order to achieve a lower cost of electricity.
The 12.5 MW photovoltaic project is expected to produce approximately 20 GWh (Gigawatt hours) annually. The output energy will be used for captive generation and will avoid around 121,437 Tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions in the next 10 years. The project aims to integrate the new photovoltaic project with the existing power generating facility.
