The Board of Directors of Fauji Cement Company Limited (FCCL) has approved the installation of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) with a capacity of 25 MWh, along with dedicated solar power setups of 5 MW each, at the company’s Nizampur and Jhang Bahtar plants.
According to a material information notice sent to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX) on September 22, 2026, the project will have an aggregate battery energy storage capacity of 50 MWh and a combined dedicated solar power generation capacity of 10 MW.
The company stated that the project is expected to be completed within 10 months from the start date.
The initiative aims to store solar energy generated during daylight hours in the battery energy storage systems for discharge during evening peak hours. This is expected to reduce the company’s reliance on peak grid electricity, optimise energy costs and enhance its renewable energy capacity.
The approved project is part of Fauji Cement’s efforts to strengthen its renewable energy infrastructure and improve energy management across its manufacturing operations.
