Dubal Extrusion’s rooftop solar project at OSE Industries to produce 1.1 GWh of clean electricity annually

UAE-based Dubal Extrusion Investment (DEI), a subsidiary of Dubal Holding (DH), has successfully completed the Phase I of the rooftop solar power generation project at OSE Industries, a local aluminium extrusion company under DEI's ownership.

The project, carried out by Emirates Electrical Engineering LLC, became operational in early July. The project was executed under a Solar Lease Agreement, eliminating upfront costs and offering a seamless solution for operation, maintenance, and affordable energy rates.

About the solar project

Located on the rooftops of buildings 1 and 2 at the OSE plant, the solar system boasts a rated capacity of 633 kilowatts peak (kWp) and is projected to produce 1.1 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean electricity annually.

With a rated capacity of 633 kilowatts peak (kWp), the system is expected to generate 1.1 gigawatt-hours (GWh) of clean electricity annually, potentially meeting up to 12 per cent of OSE Industries' yearly energy needs. Environmentally, this annual production of 1.1 GWh of clean energy could power a small town several days a week, reducing carbon emissions by 440,000 kg CO2e and supporting sustainable practices.

Reducing carbon emission by 43,800 kg CO2e

The supplier is responsible for monitoring system performance, keeping the system clean, and ensuring the availability of spare parts. Preliminary data from July 2024 shows that the solar system generated 109.5 megawatt-hours (MWh) of electricity, meeting 12 per cent of the monthly demand and reducing carbon emissions by 43,800 kg CO2e.

Phase II of the project, which will extend the solar installation to the remaining buildings and service areas, is scheduled for commissioning in 2025. This initiative underscores DEI's commitment to advancing the UAE's sustainability objectives, including the DEWA SHAMS Dubai Initiative, the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, and the UAE Net Zero 2050 goals.
