Turbotim, a UAE-based energy solutions company, has signed an agreement with Emerge – a joint venture between Masdar and the EDF Group – to develop a rooftop solar and battery storage project at its facilities in Ras Al Khaimah. The deal was signed during the 2025 Make it in the Emirates Forum, which ran from 19-22 May. The project will replace diesel generators with a hybrid energy system, combining 1.52MWp of rooftop solar PV and a 5MWh battery energy storage system. Split into two identical installations, each will feature 763kWp of solar and 2.5MWh of battery capacity. Emerge will deliver a turnkey solution, covering financing, design, construction, and 20 years of operation and maintenance. The shift is expected to reduce Turbotim’s annual carbon emissions by over 2,178 tonnes, equivalent to the yearly electricity consumption of 240 homes or removing 474 petrol cars from the road. Dr Saad Al Tameemi, Turbotim Chairman, said: “This partnership with Emerge marks a major step forward in Turbotim’s journey toward cleaner, more efficient energy solutions. “By integrating solar and battery storage into our operations, we’re not only reducing our environmental footprint but also creating long-term value through energy cost savings and greater energy independence.” Michel Abi Saab, General Manager of Emerge, added: “The agreement signed with Turbotim, a leading industrial player, highlights the value of distributed solar and storage installations in reducing reliance on fossil fuels, while promoting cost-effective and sustainable solutions.” Emerge, launched in 2021, currently supplies clean power to over 40 sites across the GCC. |
