ENOC Group To Power All Future Service Stations With Solar Energy

All future ENOC service stations will be powered by solar energy to support the UAE’s long-term strategy to target an energy mix that combines renewable, nuclear and clean energy sources to meet the country’s economic requirements and environmental goals.

The announcement, made during the Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition (WETEX) 2017, is also in line with the Group’s commitment to be aligned with the Dubai 2021 Plan to become a smart and sustainable city.

Earlier this year, ENOC piloted the first solar-powered service station in the country at its Dubai Internet City (DIC) facility. The station features Photovoltaic (PV) solar panels on the roof of the canopy with a peak capacity of 120kW (Kilowatt) energy on an ideal day, generating approximately 30 per cent more than the average energy required to run the station. The excess energy generated is transmitted back to DEWA’s main grid through a DEWA solar meter that measures and monitors the power injected to the power grid.
