Deal to deliver sustainable healthcare in the UAE
PureHealth, the largest healthcare group in the Middle East, and Yellow Door Energy have signed a master lease agreement to bring clean electricity to its network of hospitals and clinics in the UAE.
The 25-year agreement strengthens operational efficiency, improves long-term cost predictability and embeds sustainability into long-term asset planning.
The on-site solar power plants are expected to generate approximately 23.5mn kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean electricity annually – equal to reducing carbon emissions by 7,200MT to further align with the UAE’s national Net Zero by 2050 Strategy.
Core component
“As we work towards net zero by 2040, this project forms a core component of the Smart Facilities and Operations pillar, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and advancing cleaner, more resilient energy systems,” stated Leya Al Damani, Chief Sustainability Officer, PureHealth.
“Yellow Door Energy has the expertise to deliver multi-site solutions under master lease agreements. We look forward to supporting PureHealth in accelerating its Net Zero by 2040 commitment and contributing to the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 Strategy,” commented Jeremy Crane, Group CEO, Yellow Door Energy.
Master lease agreement
Under the master lease agreement, Yellow Door Energy is responsible for financing, designing, constructing, commissioning, operating, and maintaining the solar power plants across PureHealth’s UAE healthcare assets.
The solar leasing model enables PureHealth to benefit from clean energy and advance its Net Zero by 2040 ambition and reinforces the group’s commitment to building a smarter, more sustainable healthcare system aligned with the UAE’s national priorities for energy efficiency, digital transformation and climate action, a press statement concluded.
