ABU DHABI – Mubasher: ADNOC Distribution has signed an agreement with Japan Cooperation Centre Petroleum (JCCP) to supply, install and pilot the use of a photovoltaic (PV) solar power system at one of its service stations on Yas Island.
The deal is part of the company’s commitment to efficiency and the adoption of cutting-edge technologies in its growing network of service stations.
ADNOC Distribution is a subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC), and it is the UAE’s largest fuel and convenience retailer.
"For many years, the UAE and Japan have together been building strong bilateral relations that span trade and investment, culture, tourism and education,” said ADNOC Distribution’s acting CEO, Saeed Al Rashdi.
“Solar energy and, more broadly, energy efficiency are areas of particular strength in Japan, and we are delighted to be the host for this project as it aligns well with our own goals for ADNOC Distribution.
“Our agreement with JCCP is an important addition to our programmes to drive greater efficiency with the organisation. As well as the work we are doing on solar power, we have a growing natural gas vehicle, NGC, operation available at 24 stations, and are actively installing electric vehicle chargers. There is serious momentum to our alternative fuels offering,” he added.
