Shanghai Unilever Food is the production base for the century-old brand "Ovaltine." To save production costs and fulfill its commitment to sustainable development, Unilever turned its attention to its vast factory roof, hoping to build a PV power station that integrates cost reduction, efficiency gains, emission reduction, and image enhancement.
In the long term, this PV project will bring significant environmental and economic benefits to Unilever. Over the next 25 years, the project can cumulatively reduce carbon emissions by 4,150 tons. Regarding energy supply, the project can generate 720,000 kWh of clean electricity annually, meeting part of the factory's production electricity needs. Simultaneously, it can save the workshop over ¥870,000 CNY (approx. $122,363 USD) in electricity costs each year, effectively reducing production costs.
