Green Energy Tomorrow, the regionally focused rooftop solar specialist launched by Phanes Group - has signed an agreement with DP World to deliver the first phase of the largest rooftop solar project in the Middle East. Green Energy Tomorrow secured the rooftop project following a competitive tender process.

"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," said Martin Haupts, CEO, Phanes Group - owners of Green Energy Tomorrow.

"What this also proves is that the capabilities and expertise required to execute projects of this scale exist within the UAE," continued Haupts. "And that through strategic partnerships local firms can co-develop projects that support decarbonization and demonstrate regional leadership in future energy."

The project complements Dubai's efforts to diversify energy sources in line with Dubai vision 2021 and the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030 which seek to reduce energy demand by 30% by 2030.
