Move will enable Choithrams’ distribution centres to shift to 100% renewable clean energy
SirajPower recently signed a deal with Choithrams, the grocery retailer and food distributor in the Middle East, to help them shift from conventional power to 100% renewable energy.
On this occasion, a signing ceremony was recently held at Choithrams’ Head office in Dubai in the presence of Rajiv Warrier, Choithrams’ CEO; Laurent Longuet, CEO, SirajPower and Merzi Sodawaterwala, Founder & Chairman, World Sustainable Business Forum (WSBF).
Choithrams’ solar rooftop project includes three warehouses located at Al Quoz in Dubai with a 2.7 MWp system capacity that will generate 4.5 GWh of annual energy production. The solar rooftop installation will help displace approximately over 3,000MT of carbon dioxide emissions per annum, corresponding to more than 12mn smart-phones being charged.
“We have been able to accelerate our growth thanks to a clear and robust regulatory framework that supports the development of renewable energy and the distributed solar market,” commented Longuet.
“Sustainability has always been a key initiative for Choithrams and shifting to 100% renewable energy is a crucial step in our sustainable journey,” remarked Warrier.
“Transitioning to 100% renewable energy not only offers significant financial benefits, it also offers sustainability achievements from zero carbon emissions,” noted Sodawaterwala.
