Move makes it one of the first ports to do so
In its endeavour to support sustainable and innovative initiatives, SOHAR Port and Freezone is one of the first ports in the region and in the world to have installed a ‘Light on-Demand’ system.
The implementation of this project, positions SOHAR as pioneers in the sector. Apart from promoting a low carbon footprint, the LED luminaires have successfully reduced energy consumption by 80%.
“At SOHAR, our overall objective is the need to develop a world-class complex and high-level of operations with state-of-the-art infrastructure that is safe, environmentally sustainable and legally compliant to attract investment and enhance industry diversification,” commented Mark Geilenkirchen, CEO, SOHAR Port.
“The roads within the Port and Freezone area are not frequently used during the night, resulting in energy loss from the illuminated lights overnight. This is why we have identified a solution for real-time control of street lights within the respective areas,” noted Khalid Al Alawi, Manager, Assets Management, SOHAR.
‘Light on Demand’ is a revolutionary integrated wireless motion sensor for presence-based monitoring and control of outdoor lighting. It ensures the reduction of energy consumption without compromising on public safety and driving comfort.
