Dubai refreshment unveils solar power project.

Dubai Refreshment has announced the inauguration of a large solar power plant at its manufacturing facility in Dubai Investment Park 2.

A ceremony was held at the company's facilities to mark the occasion under the patronage of Dr Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of Climate Change and Environment, and in the presence of Ahmad bin Eisa Alserkal, chairman of Dubai Refreshment.

The 45,000sqm plant has a production capacity of 3.7 megawatts, making it one of the largest private solar power plants in the UAE. The project is expected to generate 5.6 million kWh throughout the year, which will reduce the emissions of carbon dioxide - a greenhouse gas causing global warming - by 4 million kg per year.

Dr Al Zeyoudi commended the role of the private sector, with Dubai Refreshment at the forefront, in supporting the country's swift transition to renewable energy and green economy.
