The rooftop solar firm Green Energy Tomorrow — launched in 2012 by the Dubai-based international solar firm Phanes Group — has signed a new agreement with DP World that will see the firm deliver the first phase of what will be the biggest rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) project in the Middle East once completed. The new agreement follows a competitive tender process that Green Energy Tomorrow won. The CEO of Phanes Group, Martin Haupts, commented: “This ground breaking project marks a significant turning point for the rapid scale up of distributed solar energy in the United Arab Emirates, laying down a blueprint for other major national and locally based international players to capitalize on the cost competitive nature of solar technology and a smart regulatory structure.” Haupts continued: “What this also proves is that the capabilities and expertise required to execute projects of this scale exist within the UAE. And that through strategic partnerships local firms can co-develop projects that support decarbonization and demonstrate regional leadership in future energy.” Here’s some further background (via the recent press release): Green Energy Tomorrow combines the deployment, investment and financing expertise of Phanes Group with the research and development and solar cell manufacturing capabilities of Neo Solar Power Corporation and the technology offered by General Energy Solutions to deploy bespoke solar solutions in the GCC. Phanes Group is an international solar energy developer, investment manager and asset manager strategically headquartered in Dubai, UAE. Established in 2012, Phanes Group has a growing portfolio of solar investments and developments that currently span five geographies globally, including Chile, United Kingdom, Dominican Republic, the United Arab Emirates, and Sub-Saharan Africa. The group’s cumulative clean power contribution stands in excess of 70 megawatts, with a further 500 MW under development.
