Karachi, 4th June 2024 – Mondelez Pakistan has partnered with Shams Power to solarize its confectionary and powdered beverages plants and to take the installed capacity to around 2.2 MW of Solar on both sites. This initiative aims to enhance sustainability and reduce carbon emissions.
Shams Power will install the equipment, manage the operation and maintenance of the solar systems throughout the agreement, and transfer the equipment to Mondelez Pakistan upon the term’s completion.
This project is expected to contribute approximately 3.3 million units of clean energy annually to Mondelez’s electricity mix, offsetting around 1,500 tons of carbon emissions each year. This reduction in emissions is equivalent to the annual electricity consumption of approximately 1,000 households.
