Lighting up the Hospitals at Hub – Solar Power by Reon Energy
Reon Energy Limited – the leading solar energy company in Pakistan. Successfully delivered a 5.5kWp Off-Grid Solar Solution for Jam Ghulam Qadir Hospital at Hub. The project has been sponsored by HUBCO and will provide 24-hour power access to the emergency and labor rooms at the hospital. “The emergency room at this hospital caters to more than 1500 people every month, whilst more than 240 maternity cases are managed every month at this facility. The solar solution is currently running 25 bulbs, 12 fans, and other devices,” said Dr. Abbas Lasi, one of the key officials at the hospital. This solar solution, aside from bringing energy security and availability to areas where there is none, will also result in cost savings for the hospital.
Inam ur Rahman, CEO, Reon Energy Limited stated, “At Reon, we see every rooftop as a possible producer of electricity. Solar energy solutions can help transform the quality of healthcare at an institutional level, especially for those residing in the off-grid areas of Pakistan.”
This is the second collaborative venture between Hub Power Company Limited (HUBCO) and Reon. Earlier, Reon had also provided a solar solution for TCF School HUBCO IPGDL Campus that is one of the pioneering schools in the region running on solar energy. Reon Energy Limited is a part of the Dawood Hercules Corporation – which is the single largest contributor in the private energy sector of Pakistan – in total controlling up to 1800 MW of generation capacity with major ventures like HUBCO, Sindh Engro Coal Mining Company, and Laraib Energy.
