Dubai Airports has partnered with Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) to set up a solar array at Al Maktoum International, Dubai World Central (DWC).
The new initiative helps limit the airport’s carbon footprint and allows power generated to be fed directly into the power grid. This is the first solar project to be linked directly to the DEWA grid. By tapping the sun’s energy, the 100-panel solar array aims to limit power used by DWC’s employee gate facility.
“The solar array is just one of several projects across our airports aimed at adopting ways to limit our environmental impact. This also safeguards significant economic and social contributions the aviation sector provides Dubai,” said Majed Al Joker, SVP of operations DWC at Dubai Airports.
The project also forms part of a broader environmental drive outlined in the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030, aimed at reducing the emirate’s reliance on fossil fuels.
