IRSC Signs Contract with Oriental Weavers to Install 2.5 MWP Solar Power Plant at 10th of Ramadan Factories

In this regard, Eng. Andrew Daniel, Chairman of IRSC, stated: “We are honored to collaborate with Oriental Weavers on this forward-thinking initiative. This project not only highlights the tremendous potential of renewable energy solutions in large-scale industrial applications but also reinforces Egypt’s ongoing transition towards a greener and more sustainable future.”

He further added, “We are especially proud that Oriental Weavers has chosen IRSC as their partner, recognizing our leadership in the commercial solar market in Egypt. The PV power plant at Oriental Weavers’ complex will play a pivotal role in meeting the company’s energy demands while simultaneously contributing to national efforts to expand the use of solar energy. This initiative reflects the shared commitment of both organizations to sustainability, innovation, and corporate responsibility.”

For her part, Ms. Yasmine Khamis, Chair of Oriental Weavers Carpets, said: “We are deeply committed to reducing our environmental impact, as this project marks a significant milestone in our sustainability journey and is the first of many steps toward transitioning all of our factories to clean energy sources. Following the successful conversion of one of our largest showrooms in Alexandria to solar energy in 2022, this initiative is a natural progression in our efforts to implement renewable energy solutions across our operations.”

She added, “Sustainability has always been an integral part of Oriental Weavers’ business model. Over the past four years, we have made substantial progress by reducing our total carbon footprint by 35,000 tons through the investment in energy efficiency initiatives. This latest project not only underscores our dedication to environmental responsibility but also strengthens our position as a leader in sustainable practices within the global carpet industry.”

Eng. Mohammed El Haddad, IRSC Vice President and Head of the Energy Department, expressed his excitement on this occasion, stating: “The project entails the installation of 4,288 photovoltaic (PV) modules across a 29,000-square-meter rooftop area at Oriental Weavers’ complex in 10th of Ramadan City. Over its lifetime, the PV power plant is projected to generate approximately 120 GWH (Gigawatt hours) of clean, renewable energy. This will have a profound impact on reducing Oriental Weavers’ carbon footprint, with an anticipated reduction of around 54.5 million grams of CO2 emissions. This project is a testament to both companies’ commitment to sustainability, demonstrating how renewable energy can support large-scale industrial operations while significantly reducing environmental impact.”
