Tristar Installs 464KW Solar Plant in Dubai

  • The new plant installed by Tristar has an annual capacity of 750-megawatt hours of renewable electricity.
  • The solar installation will enable an annual reduction of 318 tonnes of CO2, equivalent to planting approximately 8,200 trees yearly.

Tristar Group has installed a solar power project in Dubai, with a 464 kilowatt peak (kWp) capacity, at its warehouse facility in Jebel Ali Free Zone. This is the second project launched by the company since 2021 in partnership with TotalEnergies.

The new plant has an annual capacity of 750 megawatt hours (MWh) of renewable electricity with 1,190 photovoltaic (PV) panels. This capacity equates to 90 per cent of the facility’s total power consumption. The solar installation will enable an annual reduction of 318 tons of CO2, equivalent to planting approximately 8,200 trees yearly.

The Group CEO of Tristar, Eugene Mayne, said, “There are many routes to UAE Net Zero 2050, and Tristar has adopted a realistic and real-world approach to decarbonisation. We are marking a new milestone on this transitional journey with a second solar power plant on our premises.”

Tristar’s first solar power project has a 503-kilowatt peak (kWp) system installed at its head office warehouse. Equipped with over 1,200 PV panels, the plant has generated more than 800 MWh of renewable electricity annually. This capacity covers more than 95 per cent of the head office’s electricity needs. It also reduces the company’s annual carbon footprint by approximately 340 tonnes, equivalent to planting 9,000 trees yearly.
