A total of 1,653 solar PV rooftop panels with a total installed capacity of 821KWp have been installed across three facilities in Dubai
International polyurethane (PU) insulation solutions provider Pearl Group has partnered with TotalEnergies to install solar photovoltaic (PV) systems at three of its production facilities in the UAE. This solarisation initiative is said to mark a major step in Pearl’s commitment to sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint by cutting its annual CO2 emissions by 568t.
In collaboration with TotalEnergies, Pearl Group has installed a total of 1,653 solar PV rooftop panels with a total installed capacity of 821 kilowatt-peak (KWp). Together, the three Dubai facilities will produce 1,336 megawatt hours (MWh) of energy a year.
The site in Dubai Investments Park (DIP) South is now contributing 372kWp, the DIP North site adds 359kWp, and Ras Al Khor provides 90kWp.
“We are thrilled to partner with TotalEnergies on this transformational project,” said Martin Kruczinna, CEO at Pearl Group. “The installation of solar power systems across our Dubai sites is a testament to our unwavering commitment to sustainability and our proactive approach to reducing our environmental impact. This initiative not only supports our operational needs but also aligns with our long-term vision of promoting renewable energy.”
Hamady SY, Managing Director of TotalEnergies Renewables Distributed Generation, Middle East and Africa said, “TotalEnergies is pleased to partner with Pearl on its decarbonisation journey by solarisation of these three plants, which showcase the potential for renewable energy integration within industrial operations. By providing turnkey services that help solar energy add value to businesses, we are committed to supporting our partners in achieving their sustainability goals.”
As part of its Net Zero by 2050 goal, TotalEnergies is building cost-competitive portfolio combining renewables (solar, onshore and offshore wind) and flexible assets to deliver clean firm power to its customers. At the end of 2023, TotalEnergies’ gross renewable electricity generation installed capacity was 22GW. TotalEnergies said it will continue to expand this business to reach 35GW in 2025 and more than 100TWh of net electricity production by 2030. |
