In line with its sustainability agenda of creating ‘A Better Tomorrow,’ British American Tobacco Nigeria (BATN) has announced the commissioning of its one MWp DC grid-tied solar panel system, capable of generating an average of 2,800 KWh per day and reducing carbon emissions by 450 tonnes in its Ibadan factory.

The commissioning of the solar plant was done by the Area Operations Director, Sub-Saharan Africa, Charles Kyalo and other members of the leadership team.

Speaking on the new facility, the Managing Director of BAT Nigeria and Cluster Director of West and Central Africa, Yarub Al-Bahrani, described the commissioning as a significant step in the company’s journey towards sustainability.
