MAS Photon

MAS Photon launched climate action goals with one of the largest multi-site solar rooftop projects in South Asia. The total capacity of the project is about 16 MW & 30 MW of Solar PV will be installed on unutilized rooftops across Sri Lanka as the next phase of the project.

The total annual electricity generation by MAS Photon is 22 GWh, 8% of the total consumption of 280 GWh within the MAS group.

MAS Fabric Park (MFP) has implemented Project PHOTON, a large-scale rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) initiative, as a cornerstone of its renewable energy and decarbonization strategy. Executed in two phases, the project demonstrates MAS’ commitment to transitioning towards clean energy, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and enhancing long-term energy resilience across manufacturing operations.

Phase 01 and Phase 02 together deliver a total installed capacity of approximately 23 MW, comprising rooftop solar PV systems deployed across 19 MAS facilities, with a significant concentration at the MAS Fabric Park (Phase II) location. The total project investment amounts to approximately USD 16 million, implemented under Sri Lanka’s Net Metering grid connection scheme, enabling both self-consumption and grid export of surplus electricity.

The combined solar installations generate an estimated 29 GWh of renewable electricity annually, contributing to approximately 11% of the MAS Group’s total electricity demand, while supplying up to 18% of MAS Fabric Park’s daytime power requirements.

From a climate impact perspective, Project PHOTON achieves an annual carbon footprint reduction of approximately 17,800 tonnes of CO₂, significantly lowering reliance on fossil-fuel-based grid electricity. The project also strengthens operational energy security, mitigates exposure to energy price volatility, and supports national renewable energy goals.

Overall, Project PHOTON represents a flagship sustainability initiative for MAS Fabric Park, directly supporting MAS Group’s climate action commitments.
