Hyderabad: Anheuser-Busch InBev (AB InBev) India’s Crown brewery in Telangana has made a shift to solar power, increasing the use of greener electricity in its brewing industry.
The acceptance of renewable electricity in its third brewery contributes to AB InBev’s global commitment to secure 100 percent of the company’s purchased electricity from renewable sources by 2025. The brewery facilities in Mysore and Aurangabad had previously partially switched to renewable electricity.
The project capacity for the installation of the solar panel at Crown Brewery is DC 998 KWP, AC 773 KW, which will generate an average of 4000 units per day. With an electricity demand of approximately 22,000 units per day, AB InBev India will produce 18 percent of the electricity from renewable sources.
“As climate change continues to threaten our world, we at AB InBev continue to look for greener alternatives,” said Ashwin Kak, Head of Procurement and Sustainability, India and Southeast Asia, AB InBev.
AB InBev is a listed company in Leuven, Belgium, with secondary listings on the Mexico and South Africa stock exchanges and with US depository receipts on the New York Stock Exchange.
AB InBev is part of RE-100, a collaborative, global initiative that connects more than 100 businesses committed to the use of renewable electricity in their operations. The company plans to enter into similar agreements in the future.
