DP World and Dubai Carbon Centre of Excellence (DCCE) signed an agreement to use crowdfunding, and innovative Fintech tool, to power the retrofitting of warehouses in Mina Rashid

The crowdfunding project is one of the several initiatives undertaken by Dubai Carbon to encourage the development of innovative green finance, which is in turn part of a wider effort to diversify the economy away from reliance on oil revenues.

The agreement was signed by Nabil Battal, global HSE director of DP World and Ivano Iannelli, CEO, Dubai Carbon, on 23 October at the19th edition of Water, Energy, Technology and Environment Exhibition (WETEX), which runs on October 23rd at Dubai International Convention and Exhibition Centre (DICEC).

Using crowdfunding, UAE residents will be able to invest in a total of 3,000kW of solar energy. In addition, investors will attain a return through the kilowatt hours generated from the project, at an estimated return rate of 40 per cent across a ten year period. Through Crowdfunding, the project aims to install high-efficiency and energy saving utilities in Mina Rashid.

?DP World?s Solar Power Programme has far-reaching environmental benefits and we are pleased that various stakeholders are contributing to its continued success including the Dubai Carbon Centre of Excellence (DCCE). We?ve provided four sheds on which to install solar panels and DCCE is taking the project to a crowdfunding platform, allowing a range of investors to finance an important development towards positive economic and societal change. At DP World, our approach is forward-thinking and long-term ? we are investing in technology, people and partnerships to lead the future of world trade,? said Battal.

?The crowdfunding project is the first-of-its-kind initiative in the region, which represents an increasingly important source of financing for the renewable sector. At Dubai Carbon, remain committed to achieving the goals of Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050. While the project will offer UAE residents a platform to invest in renewable energy, it will also go a long way in addressing gaps and bridging the energy divide,? added Iannelli.
