The newly installed 27MW solar facility is designed to supply a substantial portion of the company’s daytime electricity needs, cutting reliance on the national grid and fossil fuels. This investment enhances KML’s competitiveness by securing a cheaper, cleaner, and more predictable energy source, while aligning with global environmental, social, and governance (ESG) standards increasingly demanded by international buyers.
Building on this success, KML’s board has approved a comprehensive expansion plan to significantly increase its captive solar generation capacity. The next phase involves feasibility studies for additional solar installations and potential investments in energy storage systems to ensure a more consistent renewable power supply.
“The commissioning of our 27MW solar plant is a pivotal step toward sustainable manufacturing,” said the CEO of Kohinoor Mills Limited. “Our commitment doesn’t stop here. The planned larger expansion underscores our dedication to environmental stewardship and long-term economic resilience, setting a benchmark for the industry.”
This move positions KML as a forward-thinking leader in Pakistan’s industrial sector, demonstrating how large-scale renewable energy adoption can drive both profitability and sustainability.
