ALEC Energy, a related business of ALEC Group announces the successful signing of 8 new solar projects in Quarter 1 2021, yielding an aggregated capacity of 10.4 Megawatt peak.

Commenting on the announcement, James Stewart, ALEC Energy General Manager, said: “Through a combination of national policy and a growing commitment from corporates to make the transition to clean energy, we’ve been able to provide companies with bespoke, end-to-end strategies that make complete sense in terms of cost and environmental sustainability. Under the government’s leadership, we believe this trend will continue to grow and we look forward to playing a central role in supporting the country’s ‘Energy Strategy 2050.’

Having recently completed the Mobility Pavilion at the Expo site, which required a grid connected 0.15 Megawatt peak solar PV solution for its highly unique design, ALEC Energy’s new project pipeline includes cutting edge thermal energy storage, innovative car parks and tailored rooftop solutions across the UAE.

Thanks to the technology which is used by ALEC Energy, the widespread installation of solar solutions is a win for both the clients and the wider community. Once the energy is collected from sunlight, an inverter transfers the direct current to an alternating current, which is used on the project in hand. Thanks to the monitoring provided by smart meter technology, the power consumed is carefully measured meaning any deficit can be drawn from the grid when required, while any excess can be exported to the public utility grid. As such, ALEC Energy’s solutions provide a supplemental source of clean energy, helping to make the UAE a greener country while providing a higher standard of service for its clients.
