Karachi: Reon Energy Limited has announced the commissioning of a 12.5 (megawatt) MW solar energy power plant in Jhang Bahtar area of Punjab, a news source reported.
This facility is being built at Fauji Cement Company Limited (FCCL). The aim of this project is to commercialise a unit to lower the production cost of electricity.
