Reon announces 10MW solar project

KARACHI: Reon Energy Limited on Tuesday announced its latest 10MW captive solar power project for Eni New Energy Pakistan at Bhit, Sindh, a statement said.

The 10MW photovoltaic project is expected to produce approximately 20GWh annually.

The output energy will be used on-site, reducing gas consumption and avoiding around 140,000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions in the next 10 years, it added.

The project aims at integrating the new photovoltaic project with the existing power generating facility. Once operational, it will allow the shutdown of one the existing gas turbines and consequently to cut down on operational costs as stated by Eni.

Mujtaba Haider Khan, CEO of Reon Energy Limited, said: “I would like to congratulate Eni New Energy Pakistan for starting this project of strategic importance for the country, as it saves precious gas currently being used for on-site power generation. The 10MW photovoltaic project shall secure an additional energy source for Eni New Energy Pakistan.” The project located near Bhit Gas Field is expected to complete by October, it added.
