Arabian Industrial Gases has signed a 20-year lease with Yellow Door Energy for the supply of solar power at its manufacturing facility in Dubai Investments Park, Dubai.
Sami Huneidi, General Manager of Arabian Industrial Gases, a subsidiary of the Gulf Cryo Group, shared, “As a world-class Industrial and Medical Gas company operating across 12 countries with a strong presence across the GCC, our decision to go solar at our Dubai based facility was driven by our desire to help build a sustainable environment within the communities in which we operate.”
“Yellow Door Energy’s solar lease provided us with the platform to address our sustainability goals, while reducing our utility bills in a competitive environment with rising costs. It was an easy decision to make,” Huneidi continued.
As the solar lease provider, Yellow Door Energy will finance, design, build, operate and maintain the solar plant for the next 20 years, after which the plant belongs to Arabian Industrial Gases. The solar plant will generate over 850 MWh of clean energy in its first year of operation, enough to power 40 Dubai homes for a year. Switching to solar power will also help Arabian Industrial Gases reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions by almost 500 tonnes per year.
