This initiative will help us in our energy management initiatives and solar power is environmentally sustainable as well as effective."
"We have been monitoring both electricity and fuel consumption as part of our sustainability initiatives since the financial year ended 31 December 2017 and are cognisant of the need to source for more sustainable sources of energy for our steel processing operations. The installation of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels will have a capacity of 2.1 million kWh per year, and we expect to save an estimate of 30% savings in electricity consumption per year when the solar panels are fully completed."
