The UAE’s Ministry if Public Works has commissioned its first solar-powered road lighting project – an 11km section of road within the Wadi Sadr area, inland from the port town of Khor Fakkan.
The system was installed in the remote region because it doesn’t require additional power infrastructure to support it. The system charges during the day and used its stored energy to power the lighting systems at night.
Dr. Abdullah Al Nuaimi Belhef, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Public Works, said in a statement today that this project comes in line with the directives by the UAE and Abu Dhabi governments on the implementation of projects that meet the principles of sustainability.
Belhef said the project saves high cost operation expenses of the traditional electric lighting.
