  • According to the official statement, the pact includes various phases.
  • Electrolux will employ the renewable energy to produce cleaning devices, refrigerators, Delta electrical water heaters, and stoves.

World's leading maker and distributor of electrical home appliances, Electrolux has actually introduced participating in an agreement with SolarizEgypt for the establishment of a solar power plant at its manufacturing facility. Electrolux stated that the renewable energy will be used to produce cleaning machines, refrigerators, Delta electrical water heaters, and stoves.

According to the official statement, the pact consists of different phases. The very first phase involves setup of 1.5 MW of power, including 1 MW in the Delta factory, which manufactures refrigerators and washing machines, and 0.5 MW in the stoves manufacturing facility. Electrolux aspires to have 3 MW capacity in the 2nd phase. This is stated to be according to the vision of Electrolux to attain zero carbon emissions from its procedures by the end of this decade.

SolarizEgypt and Electrolux have signed up with hands for a duration of 25 years to safely operate and decarbonize the electric system of Egypt.

Maysam El Hennawy, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER, Electrolux Egypt, said, "Under this arrangement, Electrolux will continue to sustain Egypt's Vision 2030, which urges the use of renewable energy sources, and ecological sustainability measures.
