PETALING JAYA: Pekat Group Bhd is partnering Proton Holdings Bhd to promote the adoption of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, as part of the national automaker’s energy sustainability initiatives.

In a joint statement yesterday, the parties said the partnership would build upon Pekat’s 12 megawatt-peak grid-connected solar PV system at Proton’s manufacturing plant in Tanjung Malim, Perak and complement the latter with a reduction in carbon footprint as well as energy costs since March this year.
