FrieslandCampina Advances Decarbonization Agenda Through MoU with A2Z Energy Systems

FrieslandCampina Engro Pakistan Limited (FCEPL), a leading multinational in the dairy and nutrition sector, has announced a strategic partnership with A2Z Energy Systems to implement a 2MW solar photovoltaic (PV) plant integrated with a 4MWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS). The deployment marks a significant step in FCEPL’s long-term commitment to its decarbonization strategy and to its vision of embedding sustainable energy solutions across its operations.

The hybrid system, being deployed at the FCEPL’s operational sites is designed to improve energy cost efficiency, enhance power reliability, and reduce exposure to grid volatility amid rising tariffs. It will enable optimized energy dispatch, support peak shaving, and strengthen load management, driving greater operational resilience and delivering measurable financial benefits.

A sustainable and resilient energy infrastructure is central to our vision for the future, said Mr. Kashan Hasan, CEO & Managing Director, FrieslandCampina. Our partnership with A2Z Energy Systems represents a pivotal step in our efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of dairy farming. This is also aligned with Friesland Campina’s vision of Doing DAIRY Right, which encompasses being In Balance with Nature. By harnessing solar energy, we are developing a cost-effective and sustainable approach that reduces reliance on non-renewable resources and enhances financial viability for the dairy sector. In a nation facing inflationary pressures, I take pride in leading a company committed to fostering growth and shaping a sustainable future for Pakistan.

A2Z Energy Systems, acting as the Engineering, Procurement, and Construction (EPC) contractor, will deliver the project on a turnkey basis. Drawing on its expertise in advanced energy systems, the company will ensure optimal design, seamless integration, and high-performance execution in line with international standards.

This project reflects the increasing convergence of sustainability and financial performance in industrial energy strategies. We are pleased to support FrieslandCampina in deploying a future-ready energy solution that delivers both environmental and economic value, said Mr. Anwar ul Hasan, Chairman, A2Z Energy Systems.

This project represents a scalable model for industrial energy transition, combining clean energy generation with storage to maximize efficiency and unlock long-term value. Upon commissioning, the system is expected to deliver stable energy cost savings, reduce reliance on the conventional grid, and enhance operational continuity, magnifying higher asset utilization and improved returns.

This partnership not only showcases FCEPL’s commitment to reducing the carbon footprint of dairy farming but also highlights A2Z’s expertise as a leading renewable microgrids provider, marking a significant step toward a greener & more sustainable future for Pakistan.
