Lahore, Pakistan. The meeco Group together with its joint venture, oursun Solar Power Ltd., has pursued a promising partnership with the packaging company Packages Limited. The two companies have concluded a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) contract for the realisa tion of a 3 MWp sun2roof installation in 2014. The first 293 kWp out of the 3 MWp of the sun2roof project have already been installed and connected by early 2015 with the remainder being executed according to the plan.
Packages Limited was founded in 1956 as a joint venture between the Ali Group of Pakistan and Akerlund & Rausing of Sweden, with the aim of converting paper into packaging for the consumer industry.
