Switch to alternative power for eco-conscious environs
Generators provide a stable and secure source of energy for ongoing infrastructure development
The UAE is at the forefront of development, where it has transformed from a humble lifestyle centred on fishing and pearl diving, to a bustling metropolitan hub that attracts thousands of businesses and tourists from the world over, all in a span of 45 years.
The dynamic growth of the country is leading the rise in demand for state-of-the-art generators, which have been supporting various sectors, including construction activities, development of infrastructure, as well as setting establishments such as hotels, business hubs and industries in motion.
Generators provide the correct amount of energy to drive mechanics and other devices to operate at their optimum performance.
Keeping the power output in mind, there are a number of manufacturers, suppliers and distributors in the UAE that offer quality generators, promising long-lasting service and reliability. FG Wilson (Engineering) FZE, for instance, offers stable power supply along with zero risk of power outrage, a fruitful venture in the modern world where connectivity is an absolute necessity. Jengan LLC too has teamed up with Mitsubishi to offer alternative source of power for electricity generation in the country, besides offering Yanmae and Perkins engines.
To date, diesel generators are sought-after for its reliable features, with the market primarily driven by cities such as Dubai and Abu Dhabi. According to 6Wresearch, the UAE diesel genset (which is a combination of diesel engine and an electric generator) market is projected to touch $309.9 million by 2022. This is further propelled by the upcoming Dubai World Expo 2020.
However, with a vision to transition into a greener, smarter nation, the UAE is looking to adopt solar generators, which are costeffective and powered by its abundant sunshine.
As demand for power supply grows, various companies are coming up with hybrid solar-diesel solutions to offer clients longterm savings.
When compared, mobile solar units at project sites can cut fuel consumption by 30 to 40 per cent, out of the Dh3 million worth of fuel required to produce one megawatt of electricity.
The UAE is also looking at other ways to secure power and hydroelectric power generation through renewable sources of energy, which could bring about a new set of investments and job creation, as well as a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions. The country is expected to produce around 24 per cent of its electricity from clean sources by the year 2021.
According to the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy for 2030, presented by the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, energy sources would further be diversified, with a reduction in demand by 30 per cent by the year 2030.
