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.

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.
