Something new is happening at London Distillers that has nothing to do with alcohol. Early this year, the wines and spirits distiller signed a contract with Solar Century to instal the largest solar roof in East Africa.
The Athi River-based firm currently spends up to Sh6 million on electricity bills a month. Installation of the panels is expected to begin in the last quarter of the year, and save the firm Sh450 million over the next quarter century after the 1 megawatt-generating roof is installed.
