Attock Cement is Shifting to Solar Electricity

Attock Cement Pakistan Limited has decided to install a 20 MWh battery energy storage system alongside a 5 MW solar power setup at its Hub, Balochistan plant. This decision, approved by the company's board in September 2026, aims to decrease reliance on peak grid electricity and boost utilization of renewable energy sources. The project, set to combine battery storage with solar generation, is expected to optimize energy costs and enhance the company's renewable capacity.

Established in Pakistan in 1981, Attock Cement began commercial operations in 1988, now producing approximately 4 million tons of cement annually at its Hub plant.
