Elahi Rice Mills, Gujranwala: CASE STUDY

Pakistan, a land of green fertile fields is blessed with number of cash crops. These crops soak up sun’s warmth to play a big part in country’s economy. Rice being one of the most important cash crop of Pakistan makes Pakistan world’s 10th largest producer of rice. Subsequently we have number of rice mills around the country contributing 8% in world’s total rice trade. Where on one hand these mills contribute in economy of country on the other one they unknowingly add up a lot of pollution in environment by making wrong energy choices for their necessary machines. But Elahi Rice Mills which lies in the industrial hub of Gujranwala, Pakistan and is one of the leading rice exporters made a smart energy choice by switching to safe & reliable solar energy with DSG Energy (Pvt) Ltd.

DSG Energy Pvt Ltd a project of DS group of Companies was established in Pakistan with an aim to make a considerable contribution in development of beloved motherland by revolutionizing the energy sector in Pakistan with latest technologies and techniques. DSG wants a brighter and greener future for our coming generations by prevailing use of cleaner sources of energy like solar and wind power. We have successfully commissioned number of solar plants which are producing megawatts of energy countrywide.

DSG with its expertise of providing turnkey solar solutions customized the best possible 266 kW Grid Tied Solar Solution by carefully analyzing ERM’s energy needs , geographical position and roof conditions. This cutting edge system comprises of 360 W Half Cell Technology Solar Panels which are one of their own kind in terms of efficiency. Taking care of our consumer’s safety and comfort we used completely fuse free and reliable Huawei 60 KTL inverter with a high efficiency rate of 98.7%. DSG enables consumers to monitor energy and its patterns on their own. We used special cloud based monitoring system NETECO powered by Huawei

Although ERM observes a very good geographical position in terms of sunlight but it was a site with a scattered roofs which called for a distributed solar panel system. Our technical team of well qualified engineers designed the right distribution of solar panels and invertors for different roofs of ERM. Another major challenge over came by our team DSG was designing the right structure for the pre-fabricated slab roofs of mill. Our team of civil engineers designed a durable & corrosion resistant hot dip galvanized structure for this installation.

As a result of this dynamic solar system installation, today ERM is playing its part in saving the environment. The estimated annual yield of energy is almost 139.8 MWh. Moreover, the carbon footprint of ERM will be reduced by 334.15 metric tons per annum with this installation. The energy consumption of MTM has been reduced to 50%. This installation will not only meet the energy requirements of Elahi Rice Mills but it will also inspire other industries of this sector to make the right energy choices.

We are thankful to Elahi Rice Mills for endowing us this opportunity and facilitating our team over site. While Elahi Rice Mills goes green with DSG Energy, the point of consideration is that there are number of other rice mills which are also liable of making necessary change in their energy consumption patterns to save Pakistan from being energy deficit and more importantly to save environment

In a nutshell, DSG Energy is proud to be part of such futuristic projects and will keep bringing innovation for a brighter and greener future of Pakistan.
