DUBAL invests in Dubai's first solar park

Dubai Aluminium (DUBAL), the largest single-site primary aluminium smelter using pre-bake anode technology, is playing an active role in specific initiatives to fulfil Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030 (DIES) - notably through an investment of AED 20 million (US$5.44 million) in the Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Solar Park.

Although DUBAL has a captive power station and is essentially self-sufficient in terms of electricity, the company places substantial emphasis on conserving energy through efficiency-improving measures.
"At DUBAL, we are acutely aware of our corporate responsibilities towards the environment and society. By closely monitoring and continually striving for improvements in our energy consumption levels, we aim to minimise the combustion of fossil fuels by our operations and the associated emissions into the atmosphere," says Abdulla Kalban (President & CEO).
