UOB's U-Solar Programme Contributes To Greenhouse Gas Savings Across ASEAN Equivalent To Planting 1.3 Million Tree Seedlings

KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, March 15 (Bernama) -- In just slightly more than a year since its launch in October 2019, UOB’s U-Solar¹ programme has facilitated the generation of close to 160 gigawatt hours of solar power² across ASEAN, reducing more than 77,200 tonnes CO₂-equivalent (tCO₂e)³ in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This GHG emission reduction is equivalent to having close to 1.3 million new tree seedlings grow over 10 years or taking close to 17,000 cars off the road for one year⁴.

U-Solar is Asia’s first solar industry ecosystem to power the development and adoption of renewable energy across Southeast Asia. Through U-Solar, available in Malaysia, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand, the Bank offers businesses and consumers across Southeast Asia a suite of financial solutions to encourage the development and adoption of solar power. These solutions include providing cash management and green financing to solar project developers, as well as end-to-end contract-based financing solutions to engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning (EPCC) contractors.
