Ducab Group, one of the UAE's largest manufacturing businesses, has taken a significant step towards increasing its sustainability with the official opening of its Solar Plant, which was inaugurated by His Excellency Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), in the presence of Dr Ahmad Bin Hassan Al Shaikh, Chairman, Ducab, Board members and senior officials from both parties.

The Solar Plant, a 2MWp (megawatt peak) Renewable Generation Project located at Ducab's head office site in Jebel Ai, Dubai, was developed in partnership with Etihad Energy Service Company (Etihad ESCO), in alignment with the UAE's ambitions to harness the potential of solar power. Comprising of both rooftop and ground mounted solar PV, the combined plant has a capacity to produce 3.5GWH (gigawatt hours) annually, which is enough to meet the energy needs of 500 homes, or sufficient enough to run the Ducab PVC plant on site.

Energy generated by Ducab's Solar Plant will lead to savings of approximately 660 tonnes per year
