Dubai Airports on Monday said a solar energy system comprising 15,000 photovoltaic panels at Dubai International's Terminal 2 has been installed.
Installed by Etihad Energy Services Company (Etihad Esco), it is the largest such system at any airport in the Middle East.
With a capacity of 5MWp, the solar project will generate 7,483,500 kWh energy annually for Dubai Airports, resulting in savings worth Dh3.3 million.
The project will reduce existing Terminal 2 load by approximately 29 per cent, while also slashing annual carbon dioxide emissions by 3,243 metric tonnes, which is equivalent to 53,617 tree seedlings grown for 10 years or 688 passenger vehicles driven for one year.
"Dubai Airports has undertaken a variety of green initiatives over the past several years to limit our carbon footprint and support Dubai's goal for a 30 per cent reduction in the city's energy consumption by 2030," said Michael Ibbitson, executive vice-president for infrastructure and technology at Dubai Airports.
Ali Al Jassim, CEO of Etihad Esco, said the firm aims to retrofit 30,000 buildings by 2030.
