Izzat Marji , Aramex Partner to Inaugurate the Largest Single-Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic Plant
AMMONNEWS - IMG Solar FZE, a daughter company ofIzzat Marji Group,has partnered with Aramex (DFM: ARMX), the leading global provider of comprehensive logistics and transportation solutions, and successfully completed a3.2 Megawattsolar photovoltaic plant for itsnew warehouse facility in Dubai LogisticCity, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with it becoming the largest single-rooftop solar photovoltaic plant project in the MENA region and one of the largest solar photovoltaic plants connected to DEWA’s grid under its “Shams Dubai” initiative”.
The project emphasizesIMG Solar FZE’s commitment towards the national efforts aimed at promoting the spread of green buildings across Jordan and the region, and as part of Aramex’s commitment to supportingthe UAE’s Clean Energy Strategy 2021 goals.
Located at Aramex’s Logistics Facility in Dubai Logistics City, the 3.2 Megawatt solar photovoltaic plant uses state-of-the-art components from the most reputable manufacturers, such as JA Solar, SMA Solar Technology AG, S:Flex GmbH and Meteo Control GmbH. The plant contains 9,000 solar panels, covered over a total roof area of 38,000 square meters. The energy yield for the system is around 5GWh per year, contributing to over 3,000 tons of avoided CO₂ emissions per year. Additionally, the design was based on optimizing the available area while still implementing a modular design, to ease the installation and maintenance of the solar plant.
Eng. Fadi Marji, General Manager of Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency business unit at Izzat Marji Group and General manager of IMG Solar FZE,said: “Our Company has executed more than 250 Solar Photovoltaic Plant projects in Jordan, United Arab Emirates and Kuwait totaling at more than 30 Megawatt, including the offering of high quality systems for Aramex, which was lined up to with its renowned high standards. We are really proud of our strategic partnership with Aramex.”
Mr. Raji Hattar, Chief Sustainability Officer at Aramex, added: “We pride ourselves on being a leader in sustainability across the region, and are pleased with our partnership with Izzat Marji Group and IMG Solar FZE for the second time. This solar photovoltaic plant will provide 60% of the power needed to run our logistics facility in Dubai Logistics City for a year. We continuously look for new ways to ensure that we operate as efficiently and cleanly as possible to safeguard our environment for future generations. We have a commitment to reducing our expenditure on power, and increasing electricity consumption from renewable sources for our operations. We are currently planning a phase 2 of this project, aimed at increasing the capacity to 7 Megawatt upon completion.'
IMG Solar FZE was the lead contractor for this project, where it was fully responsible for the design, supply of material, construction, commissioning, operation and maintenance of the 3.2 Megawatt solar photovoltaic plant. The installation of the plant was carried out by SCAN Electromechanical Cont. Co. LLC according to Aramex’s stringent HSE regulations and policies and under the supervision and management of IMG Solar FZE. The supervision of the entire progress of all project stages was diligently performed by Clenergize DWC LLC, the consulting company who is specialized in solar photovoltaic plants. The commissioning of the solar photovoltaic plant took place seamlessly and successfully through the distinguished support of DEWA.
In 2017, Aramexpartnered with Izzat Marji Group and successfully inaugurated its single-rooftop solar photovoltaic plant in Amman, Jordan. The plant generates 1.2 Megawatt of power, providing sufficient renewable electricity to power the Company’s operations in Amman. Aramex also announced the addition of electric vehicles to its fleet in Jordan.
“We remain committed to reducing CO₂ emissions from our operations by an additional 20% by 2020, over the initial target of 20% of CO₂ reduction we achieved in 2016. Therefore, where regulations and infrastructure allow, we will be looking to introduce similar projects to all of the 73 markets in which we operate,” concluded Hattar.
