State news agency WAM reported that the solar panels, which will cover passenger terminals and concourses across both airports, are expected to offset 23,000 tonnes of CO2

This study has provided valuable insights into the utilisation, potential, and challenges of distributed PV systems in Saudi Arabia, offering findings that are applicable to many MENA countries with similar climate conditions. By analysing UF, PR, energy savings, electricity rates, and economic viability, several key conclusions have emerged.
Some of the basic studies/assessments airports need to consider while selecting a site for the solar PV plant are- • Availability of space • Availability of solar resource & climatic condition of the site • Site’s ability to comply with aviation specific requirements etc. 2.1.
Initial rooftop PV system utilisation factors ranged from 21 % to 49 %. Average electricity savings for buildings in Saudi Arabia are approximately 35 %. Performance ratios range from 77 % to 84.27 % across various regions. The resulting mean LCOE for rooftop PV systems is $0.0445 per kWh.
He said the effort dramatically expands the number of solar installations at our facilities. With a 20-year operation and maintenance agreement, the solar PV systems will contribute to long-term environmental benefits, ensuring that the Emirates Engineering Centre continues to operate efficiently using clean energy.
