Karachi: FrieslandCampina Engro Pakistan Limited (FCEPL), a leading multinational in the dairy and nutrition sector, has announced a strategic collaboration with A2Z Energy Systems to develop a 2MW solar photovoltaic (PV) power plant integrated with a 4MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The project marks a significant milestone in FCEPL’s decarbonization roadmap and its broader commitment to sustainable and resilient industrial operations.
The hybrid energy solution will be deployed at FCEPL operational facilities and is designed to improve energy cost efficiency, strengthen power reliability, and reduce dependence on the national grid amid rising electricity tariffs and volatility. The system will enable optimized energy dispatch, peak shaving, and improved load management, ultimately enhancing operational continuity and financial performance.
Speaking on the occasion, Kashan Hasan, CEO & Managing Director of FCEPL, said the initiative reflects the company’s long-term sustainability vision. He emphasized that embedding renewable energy solutions into operations aligns with FrieslandCampina’s global “Doing DAIRY RIGHT” strategy, which focuses on environmental balance and responsible growth. He added that solar integration will reduce reliance on non-renewable sources while improving financial viability for the dairy sector in Pakistan’s inflationary environment.
From the EPC side, A2Z Energy Systems will execute the project on a turnkey basis, ensuring international-standard engineering, procurement, and construction delivery. Chairman Anwar ul Hasan highlighted that the initiative represents the growing convergence of sustainability and economic efficiency in industrial energy systems.
Upon completion, the project is expected to deliver stable energy savings, reduce grid dependency, and enhance overall operational resilience—positioning it as a scalable model for industrial clean energy transition in Pakistan.
