Emerge & Miral ink deal to provide clean energy to SeaWorld Abu Dhabi

Emerge, a joint venture between the UAE-based Masdar and France’s EDF, has signed an agreement with Abu Dhabi’s leading curator of experiences Miral to deploy on-site solar energy systems at the SeaWorld Abu Dhabi theme park that is currently under construction on Yas Island.

The project, which will have a capacity of 8.2 megawatts (MW), will see rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) systems installed at the marine-life mega-development on Yas Island, including the main building.

“Rooftop solar PV could provide approximately 6 percent of the United Arab Emirate’s total power generation by 2030,” according to the International Renewable Energy Agency’s REmap 2030 report.

Emerge will provide a full turnkey solution, including design, procurement, and construction, as well as operation and maintenance services.

Mr. Marc Swanson, Chief Executive Officer of SeaWorld Parks & Entertainment said that, “This agreement reflects SeaWorld Abu Dhabi’s alignment with our efforts to adopt efficient and innovative solutions across our parks. Working with our partners on the first SeaWorld marine-life theme park outside of the United States, we are excited to share and exchange our experiences with the region and come together for a better environment.”
