SHARJAH, UAE, Oct. 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Sungrow, the global leader in PV inverter and energy storage system provider, is proud to supply inverters for the 60MWp solar PV plant being developed by Emerge, a joint venture between Masdar and EDF, to construct a 60MWp solar PV plant for Sharjah National Oil Corporation (SNOC). This project has been awarded to Al Mustakbal Clean Tech as the EPC contractor, and the plant is set to become Sharjah’s largest solar power plant.
The solar power project, situated at the Sajaa Gas Complex, is designed to harness solar energy to power the complex’s operations, contributing actively to SNOC’s goal of achieving Net-Zero emissions by 2032. During the day, excess power will be exported to the Sharjah Electricity, Water and Gas Authority (SEWA), which will in return supply electricity for SNOC’s operations at night.
Environmental Impact and Commitment to Sustainability
The project is expected to significantly reduce carbon emissions, with an anticipated offset of 66,000 tonnes of CO2 annually. This reduction is equivalent to the environmental benefit of removing over 14,600 cars from the roads each year.
Mr. Hatem Al Mosa, SNOC Chief Executive Officer, commented on the project’s alignment with broader environmental goals: “SNOC is happy to witness this significant milestone on its path to achieve Net-Zero by 2032 across its own operations and to support the Emirate of Sharjah’s sustainability agenda and commitment to protecting the environment.”
A Strategic Move Towards UAE’s Net-Zero 2050 Strategy
This initiative not only supports SNOC’s commitment to decarbonization but also aligns with the UAE’s ambitious Net-Zero 2050 strategy. By promoting renewable energy sources, the project represents a major step forward in the UAE’s transition towards a more sustainable future.
Thompson Meng, Vice President of Sungrow PV & Storage BG said: “Sungrow continues to lead in the renewable energy sector, demonstrating a robust commitment to innovation and environmental stewardship. This project in Sharjah is a testament to Sungrow’s ongoing efforts to promote sustainable energy solutions across the globe.”
