Sharaf DG Energy completes Drydocks retrofit
01 September 2020
Sharaf DG Energy, one of the leading solar energy solution providers in the UAE, has successfully completed a lighting retrofit project at Drydocks World-Dubai, in a bid to provide energy savings and conserve natural resources.
Retrofitting, a measure taken to replace conventional light fittings and accessories with new energy-saving LED lights, was implemented on five buildings and three canteens, workshops, and camp streets, which are mainly used for the junior staff accommodations of the shipyard.
Over the next three years, the project will help Drydocks World achieve annual savings of Dh600,000 ($163,334), says Sharaf DG Energy. It involved replacement of 5,500 fluorescent, metal halide and conventional lights with highly efficient LED fixtures, it adds.
Sharaf DG Energy points out that it has been diligently working alongside Etihad Esco and is delighted to have exceeded its expectations. This retrofitting project will result in an annual energy saving of 1,215,708 kWh.
“As the junior staff accommodation buildings were considered outdated, companies have refrained from working on them,” says a company spokesman.
This had left the retrofitting project on hold for a period of two years. Sharaf DG Energy took on the project and have successfully completed it this May, he states.
The organisation achieved the whole plan in a record timeframe and even exceeded the annual proposed savings. Throughout the project, Sharaf Electronics ensured and maintained the highest safety standards with zero accidents on site, he adds.
