UAE-based Sharaf DG Energy has launched a range of sustainable development initiatives for residents including the implementation of residential solar panels aimed at reducing power consumption in Dubai by 3.1 million kWh.
 
In line with the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, the emirate will be collectively concentrating on creating an environment friendly energy mix, progressively growing the employment of clean energy sources to 75 per cent by 2050.
 
This implies that the share of natural gas, currently powering the city of Dubai, will gradually decrease to 61%, as clean energy sources will enter the mix, making up the remaining 39% of the energy supply.
 
Out of all the clean energy sources available, solar energy is set to become the largest contributor.
 
Since 2012, the futuristic city has been heavily investing in utility-scale solar installations, leading to the development of the Mohammed bin Rashid Solar Park, the world’s largest single-site solar park with a planned production capacity of 5 GW by 2030.
 
With 365 days of abundantly available sunshine, the Dubai government recognizes that solar energy offers the most viable and competitive solution to meet the domestic energy requirements.
 
To complement the clean energy strategy, Dewa is encouraging every resident to install solar panels onto their rooftops, enjoying the benefits of energy savings offered by the Shams Dubai, a net-metering scheme for solar PV systems.
 
Any surplus electricity produced is sold back to Dewa at the same price, which allows residents to roll over their kilowatt hours to the next month to off-set future electricity consumption.
 
Conforming to Dubai’s vision of becoming the greenest city with the lowest carbon footprint in the world, Sharaf DG Energy is urging villa owners to consider installing solar PV panels on their rooftops and produce their own clean electricity independently.
 
By going solar, Dubai residents will play a central role in accomplishing the city’s clean energy goals.
