Cigarette maker British American Tobacco (BAT) tripled its solar power consumption last year after it completed key solar installations to improve its renewable energy capacity.
Latest filings show that the firm’s solar consumption climbed to 1,271 megawatt hours (MWh) in 2023, up from 474 previously, cutting its reliance on fuel oil and purchasing electricity for its energy requirements. A MWh equals 1,000 kilowatts of electricity generated per hour and is used to measure electric output.
