Attock Cement to install 20MWh battery storage, 5MW solar at plant site

Attock Cement Pakistan Limited has green-lit a 20 MWh battery storage project alongside a dedicated 5 MW solar array at its plant, Mettis Link News reported. The go-ahead was given through a resolution by circulation, and the company disclosed it to the Pakistan Stock Exchange in a filing on Wednesday.

According to the notice, the project is designed to lower the company's reliance on peak-hour grid electricity, optimise its energy costs and boost its renewable power capacity. Both the battery storage systems and the solar setup will be installed on the plant site, with capacities of 20 MWh and 5 MW respectively. The filing also cited the PSX Rule Book and securities legislation from 2015.
