Liban Cables has announced the expansion of its solar power system at its industrial facilities in Nahr Ibrahim. The system will be extended with a maximum capacity of 600 Kw bringing the total power generation for the system at peak to 1.2 mW. Additionally, the system will have a 500 kW containerized battery solution, the first of its kind. This expansion is expected to reduce Liban Cables’ greenhouse gas (GhG) emission by 1.5 kilotons annually. This comes as two of the company’s six diesel generators will be replaced by photovoltaic panels, as per Liban Cables. According to the company, 3,020 photovoltaic panels will be installed and connected to the station, generating circa 1,800 mWh per year. In turn, this production will cover circa 20% of the company’s need for electricity per annum. These installations come as part of the mother company of Liban Cables (Nexan)’s commitment to reduce GhG emission by 4.2%/annum and its contribution to mitigate the impact of climate change.
