MICT Subsidiary's Solar-Power Plant Could Benefit Environmental Standing -- ESG Insight

Dow Jones2023-02-23

Commentary by Catalina Makhmudova, research analyst, ESG & impact investing

MICT said Wednesday that its subsidiary Tingo Foods entered into a partnership with Evtec Energy to build a $150 million zero-emissions solar-power plant to provide a sustainable, low-cost energy source at its new food-processing plant in Nigeria. The inclusion of solar power panels at the facility could have positive environmental implications for MICT, specifically for its greenhouse-gas emissions credentials, as the 110-megawatt solar-power plant will allow Tingo's facility to achieve net-zero carbon emissions and save energy costs, according to MICT. Tingo Foods's $1.6 billion processing facility--which the company says is the largest in Africa--is scheduled to be completed by the end of the first half of 2024 and is expected to boost the food-processing capacity and revenue of the company, according to MICT. MICT doesn't currently meet the reporting threshold to receive a Dow Jones sustainability score.
