In a big step towards enhancing energy and sustainability, the UAE has partnered with clean federations to develop energy to launch the solar energy project on a large scale at the Emirates Engineering Center in Dubai.
The signing ceremony was held at the Grand Global Economy Summit 2024 in the presence of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Supreme Energy Council in Dubai, the President and CEO of the UAE Airways and the group; And Said Saeed Mohammed Al -Tayer, Vice -President of the Supreme Energy Council in Dubai, and the administrative director and executive director of the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa).
The project includes the development of development, engineering, purchase, construction, testing and assignment systems for solar PV systems (PV) at the Emirates Engineering Center, as well as 20 years of operating and maintenance services.
A total of 39,960 solar panels will be installed, providing 37 % of the annual energy consumption and reducing it2 Fire emissions with more than 13,000 tons every year upon full operation. The total capacity is 23177 kW, with an annual generation of 34,301,960 kWh.
HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum said: “This initiative highlights the UAE’s commitment and continuous investment in renewable energy solutions as part of our sustainability strategy. By integrating solar energy at the Emirates Engineering Center, we reduce the carbon fingerprint significantly while supporting clean energy goals In the United Arab Emirates, we are pleased to participate in the development of clean energy in this solar energy project, which adds another milestone in our sustainability journey and expands the number of solar installations in our facilities.
Saeed Mohamed Tayer said: “The development of the clean energy of the union, which is a pioneering provider for energy efficiency solutions in the region, will lead the project, and offer his experience in providing high -performance energy systems. Through this partnership, the development of clean energy for UAE Emirati Airlines will ensure operational efficiency in the term The long -term solar energy systems with great discounts in carbon emissions and energy costs.
Through an 20 -year agreement for operation and maintenance, solar PV systems will contribute to long -term environmental benefits, ensuring the UAE engineering center continues to work efficiently using clean energy. This project is part of the efforts of the broader companies to support the sustainability agenda in the United Arab Emirates, which focuses on reducing dependence on non -renewable energy sources and achieving progress towards the future of the low carbon.
Other facilities owned by the UAE and Dubai include the solar panel facilities:
