Dubai Investment Real Estate (DIR), Al Mujama, Yellow Door Energy (YDE), and Clyde Engineering have successfully inaugurated a 1.2MW-peak solar power system in line with the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 Target and 2050 Clean Energy Strategy.
The solar plant, installed across nine residential buildings in the RITAJ community at Dubai Investments Park, includes over 2,000 solar panels. These panels are expected to produce 1.9m KWh of clean electricity in the first year, covering 30% of the building’s energy needs and reducing carbon emissions by 756,000kg annually.
The project operates under a solar lease, offering large cost savings for Al Mujama without requiring upfront capital investment.
