Making the switch to solar power: Achieving energy sustainability for your business
The energy crisis in Myanmar has caused many power generation difficulties for businesses. Due to the absence of a reliable grid, many companies have had to rely on expensive diesel generators, which has led to high operational costs. To address this issue and help businesses transition to renewable energy, Smart Power Myanmar (SPM) has partnered with YOMA Bank to provide solar financing for Commercial and Industrial (C&I) SMEs through the BCCM's business network.
The Objective of the Event
This event aims to provide business owners with valuable information about switching to solar energy, helping them make an informed decision. It's a learning opportunity that will be beneficial for businesses looking to switch to solar. The event's goal is specific and measurable: to encourage more businesses to make the switch to solar, either now or in the future.
