Logistics company Agility has announced it will install 8MW of photovoltaic (PV) solar at three sites in the Middle East that will reduce the firm’s carbon footprint by 5 per cent.

In Dubai, a 5.45MW PV system will be located at a site in Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza) with a 2.6MW PV system to be installed at its site in Dubai Investment Park (DIP).

 When installed, the solar installations will be able to cover up to 60 per cent of the energy required to run the two sites.

 In Jordan, Agility will develop a 788kW PV solar facility that will produce enough energy to cover 100 per cent of the site’s energy requirements.

“Globally, Agility’s goal is to reduce its carbon footprint by 25% by 2050. Our investment in solar is a huge step in the right direction and will cut the company’s global emissions by 3%. We are hopeful that it encourages other companies in the region to do the same. We know that greening operations is good for business and good for the planet,” says Elias Monem, CEO Middle East & Africa, Agility GIL.

Agility has appointed Clenergize Solar Consultants to provide project advisory services for the engineering specifications, tendering, contract management, design reviews and project management.

In both Dubai and Jordan, Clenergize Solar Consultants was appointed as the project advisors to handle the engineering specifications, tendering, contract management, design reviews and project management.

In August, Shyam Yadav, Clenergize’s managing director, joined Energy & Utilities for a live webinar looking at the potential for rooftop solar in the Middle East. Listen to the recording here.
