ENOC Group has opened two solar-powered service stations at Dubai Hills and Lehbab First.
The new stations are equipped with photovoltaic (PV) solar panels on the roof of the canopy, an advanced vapour recovery system, next-gen fuel dispensers and fully integrated digital wall displays.
The openings take ENOC’s network of solar-powered service stations to 18 as well as 23 service stations with smart displays.
Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO, ENOC, said: “The launch of the new service stations is in line with our vision to invest into the country’s growing energy infrastructure and highlights our commitment to offer customers easy access to fuel and other retail services.”
The service stations are compliant with Dubai Municipality Green Building Regulations, while the photovoltaic (PV) solar panels can generate up to 150 kw/h of energy and will transmit the excess energy to Dubai Electricity and Water Authority’s main grid.
The Dubai Hills service station will have a Prowash, with one automatic and two manual car-wash bays and an AutoPro, a provider of professional automotive services, with three bays for mechanical services, and eight smart fuel dispensers.
The service station in Lehbab First is equipped with six smart fuel dispensers, three bays for automotive services, a mosque and a space for restaurants.
Both the service stations also have Zoom, the C-Store owned by ENOC, which provides food and beverages.
ENOC currently operates 135 stations across the UAE, with plans to increase that number to 191 in the lead up to Expo 2020 Dubai, which starts on October 20.
