Post assessment of many options, Centuary Mattresses has considered solar energy for power generation which it thinks would be a game changer.

Commenting on moving towards green energy, Centuary Mattresses, Executive Director, Uttam Malani said, “Renewable content is integral to our Business model – whether be its products we make or the way we operate. Centuary has for decades championed use of natural materials such as coir for sleep solutions and has consciously taken this step into renewable energy to further its sustainability quotient. I am positive about the wise choice we have made by partnering with Freyr Energy and look forward to installing solar panels at our other plants too.”

Initially, Freyr Energy commissioned pilot project of 25KW at the company’s premises after carefully analyzing energy requirement, costs, savings involved and while keeping the safety risk at minimum.

Subsequent to the successful trial run, Freyr Energy installed an additional 215 kW solar power plant in March 2019.

We look forward to a long-term relationship where we continue to provide solar as a way to continually balance their energy needs in a sustainable way,” said Saurabh Marda, Managing Director, Freyr Energy.
