Reon Energy Limited, a subsidiary of Dawood Hercules Corporation has started work on 10MW captive Solar Power Project for Eni New Energy Pakistan near Bhit gas field in Sindh. The 10MW photovoltaic project is expected to produce approximately 20GWh (gigawatt hours) per annum. The project’s estimated time of completion is October 2019.
The 10MW Photovoltaic project will secure an additional energy source for Eni New Energy Pakistan. The output energy would be used on site, reducing gas consumption and avoiding around 140.000 tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions in the next 10 years.
This state of the art project is aimed at integrating the new photovoltaic project with the existing power generating facility. Once operational, it will allow the shutdown of one of the existing gas turbines and resultantly cut down operational costs.
