Dishman Carbogen Amcis Limited announced through a regulatory filing under SEBI Listing Regulations 30 and 51 that its wholly-owned Swiss subsidiary, Carbogen Amcis AG, has successfully commissioned a new ground-mounted photovoltaic system at its Neuland site in Switzerland.
The solar power plant has a capacity of 1,200 kWp and comprises 2,448 photovoltaic modules installed on an area of approximately 6,200 m² on the company's premises. This makes the plant one of the most efficient conventional ground-mounted systems in the Swiss Mittelland, bringing its efficiency close to that of vertical alpine installations.
The project underscores the company's long-term commitment to sustainability and expansion of renewable energy. The solar power generated will be used primarily for on-site consumption and will help sustainably reduce the company's CO₂ emissions.
The project was carried out in collaboration with energy and infrastructure partners IWB (Industrielle Werke Basel) and its subsidiary Planeco, which were responsible for the planning and implementation of the facility.
Stephan Fritschi, Chief Executive Officer of Carbogen Amcis, stated: "With the commissioning of this photovoltaic system, we are making a targeted investment in a sustainable and future-oriented energy supply for our site. The project is an important milestone on our path to consistently implementing our environmental goals."
The official opening ceremony took place following a three-month construction phase, attended by Government Councilor Dieter Egli (Head of the Department of Economic Affairs and Internal Affairs of the Canton of Aargau), Urs Wiederkehr (mayor of the municipality of Hunzenschwil), Florian Gautschi (from the cantonal economic development agency), as well as representatives from IWB, Planeco, and the management team of Carbogen Amcis.
This facility represents another building block in Carbogen Amcis's sustainability strategy, with the company aiming to continuously improve its energy efficiency and steadily increase the share of renewable energy in its production processes.
Carbogen Amcis AG is a Switzerland-based pharmaceutical process development and Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API) manufacturing company, wholly owned by Dishman Carbogen Amcis Limited, Ahmedabad, India.
