HACO Industries commissioned the second phase of its solar energy installation to powers its Home and Personal Care (HPC) production line. The installation consists 311 solar panels, providing an output of 180 kWh, which will offset about 60% of HPC’s energy consumption.
Speaking during the ceremony, HACO Managing Director Mary-Ann Musangi stated: “At HACO, sustainability is not just a goal—it is embedded in our purpose. The commissioning of this solar installation is more than an energy milestone; it is a symbol of our unwavering commitment to building a climate-resilient future through clean, affordable, and efficient energy solutions.”
This new phase builds on the success of HACO’s 240kWh solar system commissioned four years ago at the plastics factory.
The investment not only significantly cuts electricity costs but also reduces dependence on fossil fuels, thereby aligning with both Kenya’s Vision 2030 and global SDG targets on Affordable and Clean Energy (SDG 7), Climate Action (SDG 13), Responsible Production (SDG 12) and Partnerships for the Goals (SDG 17).
The second phase of its solar energy installation was supported by NCBA Bank, which provided green financing for the installation, underscoring the critical role of financial institutions in unlocking climate financeand advancing the region’s green industrial transition.
