In line with its commitment to reducing its carbon footprint, Zahid Group has signed an agreement with SAFEER for the installation of a 1.5 MWp solar rooftop and carport hybrid system on the premises of its new headquarters, Zahid Business Park

Zahid Business Park will be located on the northern outskirts of Jeddah and host the Group?s new 11 floor Head Office, six large scale facilities for independent Zahid Group companies, a community center and the Zahid Learning Institute.

The renewable energy component was integrated in the initial design of Zahid Business Park and will help Zahid Group to significantly reduce its carbon footprint through clean power production.

The system will annually produce around 2.5 GWh of clean energy and will offset nearly 1,800 metric tonnes of CO2 emissions, corresponding to approximately 7,000,000 km driven by an average passenger vehicle.

The planning and construction of the solar hybrid system combining photovoltaic and conventional energy generation will be completed by SAFEER, a joint venture between Altaaqa Alternative Solutions (a Zahid Group company) and Total Solar Distributed Generation. 

Commenting on the project, Barig Siraj, vice president of group affairs at Zahid Group, said, ?Supporting sustainable development is a priority at Zahid Group. Whether it is via significant investments in renewable energy or turning to renewable energy solutions for our own business needs, Zahid Group is an active participant in the Kingdom?s Vision 2030 for the development and promotion of renewable energy generation.?

Francois Ganneau, managing director of Safeer, added, ?After the recent creation of the Safeer joint venture, it is our pleasure to implement this iconic project for one of our parent companies. This complex project introducing photovoltaic hybrid technology on rooftops and carports of the new Zahid Business Park will showcase SAFEER`s capabilities and commitment to excellence and will act as a case study in highlighting the benefits of integrating renewable energy solutions in commercial and industrial settings.?
