Cleantech Solar has recently commissioned a 3.4 MWp rooftop solar PV system for the manufacturing unit of Japanese firm Konica Minolta Business Technologies (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. in Malacca, Malaysia. The project was undertaken through a PPA signed between the two firms. The PV system is estimated to generate close to 66 GWh of clean energy during its lifetime, while curbing almost 52 kilotonnes of carbon emissions. This is in line with Konica Minolta’s commitment to sourcing 100% of its power from renewable energy sources by 2050.
What Impacts Will Konica Minolta's Renewable Energy Commitment Have?
- Konica Minolta's renewable energy commitment will reduce its carbon emissions by up to 52 kilotonnes over the lifetime of the project.
- The solar PV system is expected to generate around 66 GWh of clean energy, which is enough to power over 9,000 average homes each year.
- This commitment will give Konica Minolta a competitive edge, as the company is able to demonstrate its commitment to sustainability and environmental responsibility.
- Konica Minolta's renewable energy commitment will also reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and shift towards clean energy sources.
- The project will also help create jobs in the area, as the solar PV system will require installation and maintenance.
- The project will also help boost the local economy through additional revenue generated from the sale of clean energy.
- The project will also help raise awareness of the importance of renewable energy and its potential to reduce carbon emissions.
