Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi Energy Services (ADES), a subsidiary of TAQA (Abu Dhabi National Energy Company), announced the commencement of a 9000-kilowatt peak (kWp) solar photovoltaic (PV) project for the United Arab Emirates University (UAEU) in Al Ain. This project is the largest solar energy initiative in the UAE's education sector and the first large-scale renewable energy endeavour for the UAEU, WAM reported. The project will install over 14,000 solar ground-mounted modules with tracking systems on the UAEU campus, covering 190,000 square metres. The panels are expected to provide 25% of the university's electricity demand and will be completed within 13 months of the agreement's start. The initiative is projected to reduce CO2 emissions by 8,187 tons annually, equivalent to removing 1,822 cars from the streets each year. The collaboration supports the goals of the UAE Consensus from COP28, which aims to triple renewables and double energy efficiency by 2030. Source: Bahrain News Agency
