New partnership further reinforces SirajPower key role played in the UAE solar sector
SirajPower, the Dubai-based joint venture for solar rooftops in the United Arab Emirates, has signed a new leasing agreement for a solar system with the UAE’s Apparel Group.
SirajPower has signed a 15-year leasing scheme under which it will install, finance and operate a 1.8MWp PV (photo voltaic) system on two of Apparel’s warehouses in Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA). The solar plant is expected to cover more than 50% of the company’s electricity consumption, saving 1,750 tons of CO2 during the first year of operation.
“Our partnership with Apparel Group is the result of our team’s hard work to spread the word about investing in clean energy among UAE businesses and help us in our journey to make Dubai and the UAE greener,” remarked David Auriau, Director, SirajPower.
“Our partnership with SirajPower is a milestone for us as we start growing our business in a more sustainable way whilst also making consistent energy savings to create a greener footprint,” commented Nilesh Ved, Chairman, Apparel Group.
SirajPower has currently 16 plants in Dubai in operation or under construction for a total capacity of around 30 MWp.
