PHP Family’s solar-powered electricity generating has begun: 1740 kilowatt solar panels have been installed.
PHP Family, a renowned leading industrial group in the country, has added a new dimension to the country’s solar energy sector. The company has started its own power generation by installing solar panels on the roofs of its textile mill and steel mill. PHP Family Chairman Sufi Mohammad Mizanur Rahman inaugurated the solar power generation activities at the Kumira factory in Sitakunda-upazila of Chittagong on Tuesday.
Vice Chairman Mohammad Mohsin, Director Anwarul Haque, Amir Hossain Sohel, Zahirul Islam Rinku, Management Intern Victor Mizan Mohsin, Executive Director Shafiqur Rahman Khan were present at the time.
In the initial stage, a total of 1,740 kilowatt solar panels have been installed in the two factories. The target is to generate about 2,000 megawatts of electricity annually from these panels. This will reduce carbon emissions by about 1,100 tons. PHP will generate electricity from sunlight and use it in its factories. As a result, electricity consumption will be saved.
Shahriar Ahmed Chowdhury, Director of the Energy Research Center of United International University and renewable energy expert, welcomed this initiative of PHP Family. It is worth noting that solar energy is an environmentally friendly energy source. Using it reduces carbon emissions and helps reduce the rate of climate change.
PHP Family official Shafiqur Rahman Khan said “in the future, they have plans to install solar panels on the roofs of other institutions as well. This will make it possible to meet a significant part of the company’s total electricity needs from its own sources.”
