Emirates Airline installs solar panels at Dubai facility

14/02/2016 Argaam

Dubai’s flagship carrier Emirates Airline has installed 2,900 photovoltaic (PV) panels on the rooftop of its engine maintenance center within the emirate.

 

The panels are expected to produce up to 1 MW of power during peak periods and will generate 1,884 megawatt (MWh) hours of electricity a year.

 

Earlier this year, Prime minister of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and ruler of Dubai Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum launched a clean energy initiative to diversify energy sources.

 

The Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al-Maktoum solar park, which is part of the initiative, is still in the works and is slated to provide 5,000 MW of solar energy by 2030.
