UAE-based sustainable energy provider Yellow Door Energy has been awarded a solar project by The Box for its newest self-storage multi storey facility in Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC).
The 312 kilowatt-peak rooftop solar plant is expected to generate more than 800,000 kilowatt- hours of clean energy in its first year of operation, equivalent to reducing 300,000 kg of carbon emissions or planting 5,600 trees.
Over 630 solar panels will be installed to cover 1,500 sqm of roof space at the facility. The new facility’s parking will also be equipped with an electric vehicle charger.
Wadih Haddad, Founder and CEO of The Box Self Storage, said: “At, The Box, we continuously strive for excellence and invest in the best infrastructure to offer the best experience for our customers.
“The solar agreement with Yellow Door Energy enables us to provide a greater well-being for our customers and employees, reduce our electricity costs and enhance our sustainability agenda, all while delivering the best customer service and experience. As we officially open our newest facility, we are excited to having it powered by clean energy.”
Yellow Door Energy will be responsible for investing in, designing, building, commissioning, operating, and maintaining the solar plant for the duration of the agreement.
