Two workers in light-colored clothing install or maintain solar panels on a large array, with one standing on a ladder and the other assisting below, against a clear sky.

A leading Pakistani bakery manufacturer, Bunny’s Limited, has taken a major step toward sustainability by installing solar panels with a capacity of 200 KVA—cutting electricity costs by approximately 15% in the first phase. As part of a broader energy strategy, the company also began using biogas, which is reportedly 30% cheaper than traditional Sui gas, LPG, or LNG.

In its second phase, Bunny’s plans to scale up solar production to 1 MW, projected to reduce electricity expenses by roughly 50%. These initiatives align with the company’s recent expansion—launching commercial bread production in Islamabad’s I‑9 Industrial Area.

This move mirrors a national trend in Pakistan’s industrial sector toward renewable energy adoption: Dewan Cement in Karachi commissioned a 6 MW solar system, and International Steels installed a 6.4 MW project. Bunny’s shift not only aims to optimize costs and boost profitability but also contributes to a greener industrial landscape amid rising energy demands.
