JT International Bangladesh Limited (JTIB) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Omera Renewable Energy Limited (Omera), marking a significant achievement in its dedication to sustainable energy solutions through the official Solar Power Purchase Agreement.

The agreement will enable JTIB (Japan Tobacco International Bangladesh) and OMERA to formalize a collaborative effort aimed at revolutionizing the way renewable energy is harnessed.

Under the MoU, Omera will install and maintain a solar panel of 2.1MW capacity on the rooftop of the JTIB factory in Tongi, and JTIB will purchase the generated solar power for the next 20 years, says a press release.

This initiative is expected to lead to a substantial reduction of about 2,494 tons of carbon emissions from JTIBs operations annually. Additionally, an estimated 21% of the companys annual energy consumption will be generated from solar sources. This is a milestone for JTIB, highlighting their dedication to environmental sustainability and the green environment.

Paul Holloway, Managing Director of JTIB; Konstantin Kosyanenko, Finance Director, JTIB; Gintautas Dirgela, Corporate Affairs & Communications Director, JTIB; Mallya S Mandara, Factory Lead, JTIB; Mohammad Moniruzzaman Bhuiyan, Engineering Manager, JTIB; Masudur Rahim, CEO, Omera; Md. Abu Khair Hasanul Hasif Sowdagar, CFO, Omera; Khan Ashique Rahman, Deputy Manager, Omera; and Kazi Umme Jahan, Assistant Manager, Omera amongst others were present at the signing ceremony held at the JTIB Head Office, Dhaka.
