Metro Cash and Carry Pakistan Solarizes their Stores with 5MW – Shams Power

METRO Cash & Carry launched its “Clean and Green Pakistan” initiative in the year 2019. Metro Pakistan is collaborating with Shams Power to install solar power at all Metro stores, helping them switch to a greener source of electricity.

Shams Power Will Solarize 5 MegaWatt for Metro Stores

Under the long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA), Shams Power will invest and install over 5MW solar power plants at rooftop and carports of Metro stores across Pakistan and operate them for the entire duration of the PPA. This model removes all CAPEX responsibility, Operations & Maintenance expenses, and equipment performance risks for Metro. Moreover, the equipment will be transferred to Metro at the end of the PPA, giving them free electricity for the remaining life of the equipment.

Outcomes of this PPA Agreement

The installation will allow METRO stores to reduce 2,639 tons of CO2 emissions each year. It will enable METRO to enjoy 38% savings in electricity bills without any capital investment or upfront costs. METRO Group observes sustainability as an integral element of its company’s core business, and with this project, they will utilize 6,000,000 units per year of clean solar energy. The group strongly encourages that a company’s economic growth comes with sustainable practices. 

In line with their robust sustainability vision, their collaboration with Shams Power Limited has allowed METRO Pakistan to effectively adapt its Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) #7, i.e., Affordable and Green Energy.

Why Shams Power?

Shams Power is one of the most prominent solar energy solutions providers in Pakistan. It effectively provides turn-key solar solutions based on Build-Operate-Own-Transfer (BOOT) model. Shams is the first company to have NEPRA issued Distributed Solar Generation License. Its end-to-end solar services make solar adoption a seamless and smooth transition for the corporates making it an ideal option for the commercial and industrial sector companies.

Powering on the Industrial Sector with Solar Grid Solutions

Pakistan is one of the affluent countries in terms of solar energy availability. It ranks sixth in terms of solar energy potential and ranges from 1500 to 2200 kWh/m/year.

The industrial and commercial sectors in Pakistan are mainly reliant on non-renewable grid power. One example is Diesel generators; they supply backup power but arecostly and have low reliability. As a result, it is increasingly difficult for firms to thrive in highly competitive global and local marketplaces. Thus, now many firms are looking for greener alternatives like solar energy solutions to run their daily operations without any hassle.

The above underlying factors have consequently encouraged the shift of the industrial sector towards renewable sources.  Pakistan Solar Solutions like Solar PPA rooftop, ground-mounted, and solar carport structures have worked out as a positive instigator for solar power development in the industrial sector. Hence, many firms opt to get electricity from private solar energy providers to reduce the energy deficiency.

Implementation of solar grid solution on a national scale

Pakistan, fortunately, is one of those countries that receive 1,500 kWh/m of irradiance annually over 90% of its land and has a large capacity for solar power generation. The annual mean value of Global Horizontal Irradiance (GHI) for Pakistan, 2071 kWh/m, calls for a great investment opportunity for Solar Power generating companies.

The introduction of the Solar Power Purchase Agreement and BOOT (Built-Own-Operate and Transfer) Model has made the installation of Solar System very convenient.

Solar Power – A Promising Investment 

Pakistan’s industrialists are prepared to diversify the country’s energy mix by engaging in solar power facilities. This approach encourage implementing advanced clean energy technologies like Photovoltaic Solar Energy, Solar Panel Systems, and net metering in the industrial and commercial sectors. Backed by the government’s commitment to promoting sustainable energy, many private firms are now rooting for solar grid solutions on Power Purchase Agreement Basis.

Hence, many firms  are adapting sustainable energy expertise with the help of Solar Power generating companies for long-term benefits. Let’s take a peek at a few of them:

 

Metro Cash & Carry Pakistan Partnering with Shams Power

Metro Cash & Carry Pakistan, signed a solar Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Shams Power. The enterprise’s corporate goal was to install Solar Panel Systems at its stores all over Pakistan. It allowed them to incorporate 5MW of solar power systems for reducing 2,639,000 kgs of carbon emissions annually.

 

AkzoNobel Pakistan bears no capital expenditure with Shams Power

AkzoNobel Pakistan, a renowned paints and coatings manufacturer has also installed a solar system at the Lahore production site and office. Shams Power will manage and maintain solar systems for AkzoNobel Pakistan on a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) basis. This means that AkzoNobel will pay zero for investment and maintenance cost. Thus, Shams Power has constructed a 0.5 MW solar power system as part of this arrangement, saving AkzoNobel Pakistan about EUR 14,000 in electricity expenses and 387,000 Kg of carbon emissions per year.

 

Packages Mall finds Grid Tied connectivity with Shams Power

On a PPA basis, Shams Power installed a 2 MW rooftop solar system at Packages Mall. It will help them to cut carbon emissions by 1100 tons per year. Under the BOOT model, they received a tailored solution in the form of  a Power Purchase Agreement, which enabled them to pursue effective efforts toward a more empowered, greener future.
