The plant will be developed and built by Masdar, one of the world\u2019s leading renewable energy companies, and backed by Tesla Powerpacks that will store excess energy to power the headquarters by night. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bee\u2019ah and Masdar, a subsidiary of Mubadala Investment Company, signed the contract to appoint Masdar <\/span><span class=\"s2\">to develop the ground-mounted solar power plant at Bee\u2019ah\u2019s new headquarters<\/span><span class=\"s1\"> on the sidelines of WETEX. The agreement was signed by Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, CEO of Masdar, and HE Khaled Al Huraimel, Group CEO of Bee\u2019ah. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Zaha Hadid-designed building will also be the first AI-powered building in the UAE. Scheduled for completion in 2020, it aims to achieve LEED Platinum certification. Through ensuring the building is powered by renewable energy, Bee\u2019ah takes a step closer to realizing this achievement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cSustainability is at the heart of our business and powering our new headquarters with clean energy is an important touchstone for us. Our new headquarters will embody our operational excellence in sustainability and technology as we strive to lead by example. Our deployment of solar energy will also contribute towards the UAE Energy Strategy 2050, which aims to increase the share of clean energy in the UAE\u2019s total energy mix from 25 per cent to 50 per cent by 2050 and reduce the carbon footprint of power generation by 70 per cent. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cWe are proud to work with Masdar, a global leader in pioneering and innovating clean energy solutions, which will design, build and operate our solar power generation plant that will supply the headquarters\u2019 electricity <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">requirements. We are also addressing the solar energy intermittency factor with Tesla Powerpacks that will store the excess solar energy from the panels and feed it back to the building when required. We are expecting this blend of renewable energy and storage will help us reduce our carbon footprint dramatically,\u201d Khaled Al Huraimel, Group CEO at Bee\u2019ah said. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">\u201cToday\u2019s announcement further strengthens our existing relationship with Bee\u2019ah, with whom we are developing the first waste-to-energy plant in the UAE,\u201d said Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, CEO of Masdar. \u201cHaving installed some of the first rooftop and ground-mounted solar panels on government properties in Abu Dhabi, and with more than a decade of experience applying green building solutions at our Masdar City home in Abu Dhabi, we are delighted to have been chosen to develop the solar power plant of the new Bee\u2019ah headquarters. It is also a great honour to be associated with a building inspired by one of the world\u2019s most celebrated architects.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Bee\u2019ah\u2019s new headquarters building will also be equipped with a sweeping array of smart building solutions powered by Microsoft, using the Johnson Control Digital Vault offering, and deployed by Evoteq. Outfitted with intelligent edge systems, devices and software designed to optimize energy efficiency, Bee\u2019ah aims to make the best use of available space and help the building\u2019s occupants be more productive through a virtual AI persona and voice-activated interface. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The clean energy strategy for the headquarters is a demonstration of Bee\u2019ah\u2019s commitment to adopting renewable energy technologies. Pioneering waste-to-energy technologies in the region, Bee\u2019ah and Masdar had also partnered in 2017 to form the Emirates Waste to Energy Company. This company is currently building the UAE\u2019s first waste-to-energy plant, which will divert 300,000 tonnes of waste away from Sharjah\u2019s landfills every year, while powering around 28,000 houses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">The Emirates Waste to Energy Company is also taking part at the leading global Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition, at the Dubai World Trade Centre, from 21-23 October 2019. Visitors can learn more about the EWTE\u2019s first waste-to-energy plant and other innovative clean energy projects at stand H79 in Zabeel Hall 3.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tesla Powerpacks to store excess energy and power office at night Bee\u2019ah aims to achieve LEED Platinum certification for new HQ building Dubai, UAE, 21 October 2019:\u00a0Bee\u2019ah, the Middle East\u2019s leading sustainability pioneer, will power its iconic new headquarters in Sharjah with solar energy, reinforcing its commitment to championing sustainability and innovation.
