The commemoration of 2023 as the Year of Sustainability by the The UAE also reflects the priority it places on sustainable solutions. while pursuing its development goals.
waslIn the new project, more than 22,000 photovoltaic (PV) panels were installed in 44 company buildings and facilities, improving network capacity by more than 11 million kWh per year. The solar energy thus produced will also offset 4,500 metric tons of carbon dioxide per year, thus consolidating Wasl’s commitment to sustainability. The carbon offsets thus achieved would have the same impact as taking 2,200 cars off the road, planting 180,000 trees or providing a year’s worth of energy to 900 homes in Dubai.
