Hico Ice cream | 262 KW Grid Tied Solar Power Plant Case Study
FMCG sector is the major cause of GHG emissions but the sector itself is also heavily impacted by it. 26% of global GHG emissions come from food production, food waste and deforestation are the major contributors to GHG emissions. Climate change in the form of hurricanes, fires and flooding etc.
Our traditional energy source also has a heavy impact on our environment. Fossil fuel is emitting harmful carbon dioxide and methane leading the earth towards global warming and decreased air quality. So converting to solar power from electricity is a great step forward as it produces no green house gases and thus mitigating climate change.
Along with the significant environmental benefits, solar power has substantial financial benefits as well. Solar power gives the ability to save money by creating a natural source of energy that has the ability to fulfill your energy demands.
By considering this whole situation, Hico is taking a step forward contributing towards “Green industry growth” and giving back to mother nature. As Hico Ice-cream is one of the top FMCG brand based in Gulberg, Lahore. Hico is Pakistan’s first ice cream company. Established in 1952, Ever since, been devoted to making the best ice cream in Pakistan. The company focuses on genuine quality products and reaches out to millions of people with the excellent products they can consume with confidence, knowing that this is the hallmark of quality assurance and purity. Hico took another initiative towards achieving its ultimate goal of excellence.
DSG Energy feels pride in partnering up with Hico Ice cream, benefitting each other with the goal of reducing the overall carbon footprint from the atmosphere and making it cleaner and greener.
DSG Energy has reached another milestone by installing a Solar Power Plant of 262kW at Hico Ice Cream, in Gulberg, Lahore. The system is roof mounted and has a specially designed shed structure for the lowering of heat in the building due to the panels’ shadowing benefits reduced the amount of energy necessary to cool the facility, and PV-genset synchronization. DSG Energy specialists have created a reliable, easy-to-handle, manage, and supervise solar-powered grid that achieves all of these goals at a low cost. This sophisticated solar photovoltaic system is generating 382,520kWh per year, making it a stable source of an environmentally friendly power. Which will be responsible of reducing the overall carbon footprint of around 63.7 tons, from the atmosphere which is also equivalent to planting around 21 trees, annually. The project is engineered and built to generate clean solar power continuously for the next 25 years.
By installing this solar power plant, DSG Energy, feels pride and grateful to Hico Ice cream, for giving DSG Energy this privilege of making Hico Green and moving another step closer to the ultimate goal.
