September 22, 2026 (MLN): Fauji Cement Company Limited (PSX:FCCL) has approved, through a resolution by circulation, the installation of Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) of 25 MWh along with dedicated solar power setups of 5 MW each at its Nizampur and Jhang Bahtar plant.

This takes the project's aggregate capacity to 50 MWh of battery storage and 10 MW of dedicated solar power.

According to a notice sent to the Pakistan Stock Exchange (PSX), the Board of Directors approved the project, which is expected to be completed within 10 months of the start date.

The project is intended to store daytime solar energy in the BESS for discharge during evening peak hours, thereby reducing the Company's reliance on peak grid electricity, optimizing energy costs, and enhancing its renewable energy capacity.
