(MENAFN- Orient Planet Group) UAE, August 29, 2024: DUBAL Extrusion Investment (DEI),
a wholly owned subsidiary of DUBAL Holding (DH), successfully completed the rooftop solar
power generation project (phase I) at OSE Industries, a local aluminium extrusion company
owned by DEI, reinforcing its commitment to sustainability and contributing to the UAE’s
renewable energy goals.
The rooftop solar power project, executed by Emirates Electrical Engineering LLC, went live in
the beginning of July and is located on the roof tops of buildings 1 and 2 of the OSE plant.
With a rated capacity of 633 kilowatts peak (kWp), the system is expected to generate 1.1
gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean electricity annually. The project is estimated to produce up to
12% of OSE Industries annual electricity power needs. In terms of its environmental impact,
the annual generation of 1.1 GWh of clean electricity can power a small town for several days
or even a week, significantly reducing carbon emissions by 440,000 Kg CO2 e and promoting
sustainable practices.
Phase II of the project, covering the remaining buildings and service areas, is currently
planned to be commissioned in 2025. The project exemplifies DEI’s commitment to advancing
the UAE’s sustainability initiatives, including the DEWA SHAMS Dubai Initiative, Dubai Clean
Energy Strategy 2050, and UAE Net Zero 2050.
The project was executed under a Solar Lease Agreement, which eliminates upfront costs
and ensures a hassle-free approach with regard to operation, maintenance, and affordable
energy rates. The supplier is responsible for monitoring the system’s performance, ensuring
its cleanliness and maintenance, as well as availability of spare components. Preliminary data
for July 2024 illustrates that the solar system produced 109.5 megawatt-hours (MWh) of
electricity, 12 % of monthly demand, and contributing to a reduction of carbon emissions of
43,800 Kg CO2 e.
