UAE Business: Al Masaood Power provides eco-friendly power to Khazna – Gulf Digital News

Al Masaood Power Division has provided sustainable power solutions to its partner Khazna Data Centres using an eco-friendly power generator set - ‘mtu A Rolls-Royce solution Series 4000’.

This 2000/2200-KW diesel generator set is designed to switch to a range of sustainable fuels, including hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO) or synthetic fuels such as gas-to-liquid (GtL) in accordance with the EN15940 standard.

In line with the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 ambition and Khazna’s commitment towards building more sustainable data centres, Khazna, the largest hyperscale data centre provider in the Mena region, is installing innovative technologies in order to reduce its carbon footprint and emissions, including the use of innovative power generators that burn renewable fuels whilst maintaining the reliability of diesel generators for mission-critical backup power. The significance of backup power for businesses, particularly data centres, is important as the financial consequences and overall disruption from outages are steadily increasing.

Sustainability goals

Rasso Bartenschlager, General Manager, Al Masaood Power Division, said: “This aligns with our commitment to assisting the UAE in achieving its sustainability goals and implementing its sustainable vision. The UAE and many other GCC nations are working extremely hard to embrace sustainable practices and make the switch to clean, green energy sources.
