Dubai logistics hub sees 90% energy offset at facility through solar upgrade

Ninja Group, a specialist in temperature-controlled logistics, has commissioned a 355kW solar power plant at its flagship facility in Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA). The project, completed in partnership with Sun Green Energy, addresses the high energy requirements of cold-storage operations by providing a stable, on-site electricity source. Energy Cost Stabilization Cold-chain logistics is one of the most energy-intensive sectors in the supply chain, requiring continuous refrigeration regardless of external temperatures. The new solar installation is engineered to offset up to 90% of the facility’s electricity demand. Ninja Group Director Lakhpat Kalwani stated on Saturday, 3 October, that the plant stabilizes long-term energy costs while ensuring cooling systems are powered by renewable sources. The facility uses high-density solar cells designed by Sun Green Energy to maximize electricity generation. The plant is expected to maintain peak output for more than 30 years, serving as a long-term operational asset for the company. The announcement comes as industrial operators in the UAE increasingly adopt renewable energy to mitigate rising utility expenses. Strategic Alignment and…
