Dubai Autodrome contributes to a cleaner planet

Dubai: As part of its commitment to be a sustainable venue, Dubai Autodrome is reaping the benefits of its solar panel-lined rooftops with the generated energy helping to power the venue’s racing competitions and its day-to-day operations throughout the year.

With Dubai Autodrome staging regular international, regional, and local motorsport events, the venue took the decision to invest in a 2.8MWp solar power project, which has been providing its energy requirements since September 2022.

The project also includes over 60 solar panel roof car ports, providing shaded parking and electric vehicle charging stations, all whilst generating solar energy.

The state-of-the-art equipment, installed by our solar partner, SirajPower, the UAE's largest distributed solar energy provider in the region, will have a positive impact on the environment and the venue, with the solar panels generating 4,751,470.4 Kilowatt-Hour of power per year, some of which is put back into the grid, while 2,055 metric tons of CO2 emissions will be eliminated per year.

These figures will be equivalent to almost 250,031,475 fully charged smartphones and 443 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven for one year, underlining the importance of how significant solar panels are in mitigating climate change.
