EAPC was spending KES 280M per year on HFO and grid electricity. A combined biomass conversion and 1.8 MW solar PV project changed that. Here is the full breakdown.
East African Portland Cement (EAPC) faced escalating energy costs, spending upwards of KES 280 million annually on Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) and grid electricity. They partnered with Lean Energy Solutions for a comprehensive energy overhaul.
Our approach was twofold: First, we executed a complete conversion of their primary thermal systems from HFO to biomass. Second, we deployed a 1.8 MW solar PV installation to offset their peak grid consumption.
The results were transformative. Within 18 months of commissioning, EAPC recorded a 41% reduction in total energy expenditure, accompanied by a significant drop in their carbon footprint.
