Chalhoub Group celebrates with its partner TotalEnergies, a worldwide leader in the development of solar solutions, the commissioning of DEWA-encouraged solar photovoltaics (PV) rooftops and carports.
The partnership is a testimony to the impact that private-public collaborations have on driving national and global agendas on climate change mitigation. In line with the UAE’s commitment to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050, Chalhoub Group has set bold ambitions to pave the way to be a net-zero company by 2040. This partnership contributes to these goals by bringing together regulatory framework under DEWA’s initiative Shams Dubai and industry expertise and technology by TotalEnergies.
The solar photovoltaics (PV) rooftops and carports have been installed on two of Chalhoub Group’s buildings in Jebel Ali Head Office 2 and Dubai Investment Park (DIP) Warehouse, bringing the total to four buildings since the Group shifted to a largescale uptake of renewable energy in 2018. To date, 34 percent of the Group’s electricity demand at the four buildings is met through solar energy and the Group has installed 3.5 MWp of solar capacity, covering a surface equivalent to almost 3 football pitches.
TotalEnergies has completed, with excellence, several solar projects, and renewable projects in the UAE. These initiatives are fully in line with the company’s strategy and are contributing to the Climate Ambition of the country.
