ENOC Group to Power all Future Service Stations with Solar Energy

All future ENOC service stations will certainly be powered by solar power to support the UAE's lasting technique to target a power mix that combines renewable, nuclear and clean energy resources to meet the nation's financial requirements and environmental goals.

The announcement, made throughout the Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Event (WETEX) 2017, is additionally according to the Group's commitment to be lined up with the Dubai 2021 Strategy to end up being a smart and sustainable city.

Earlier this year, ENOC piloted the first solar-powered service station in the nation at its Dubai Internet City (DIC) center. The station includes Photovoltaic (PV) photovoltaic panels on the roof of the cover with a peak capability of 120kW (Kilowatt) energy on a perfect day, generating roughly 30 per cent more than the average power needed to run the station. The excess power produced is transmitted back to DEWA's primary grid with a DEWA solar meter that gauges and monitors the power infused to the power grid.

His Excellency Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO of ENOC, said: "Commitment to sustainable growth fosters an innovative attitude that combines operational effectiveness and revenue generation with remedies that profit neighborhoods and residents. With the success of our DIC service station, we will certainly now install solar panels in all new stations to generate the alternate power required to run these centers. We aim to remain to provide our customers with premium services and products through increasing ENOC's geographical footprint across the UAE."

ENOC approximates more than 23 GWh of solar energy will certainly be produced to power the new stations by 2020, reducing the tons on DEWA's grid and power creating terminals.

Across its current retail network of 116 stations in the UAE, the Group has deployed a host of innovative initiatives that contribute to improving energy efficiency, such as the Vapour Recovery System - a process that makes it possible for the healing of 99 percent gasoline vapour discharges. Various other modern technologies also include the Variable Refrigerant Flow (VRF) air-conditioning system that controls the cooling agent moving right into several indoor systems, which contributed to yearly electrical energy savings of 48,506 kWh, and LED lights in all centers.

ENOC's installment of PV solar panels on the roof of the filling station canopies can be experienced at stand SSP4, Zabeel Hall 1, through the Digital Reality (VR) innovation.

A Strategic Sponsor of WETEX 2017, ENOC is showcasing options that sustain environmental sustainability and advertises energy use efficiency according to the exhibition's overall focus on green technology.
