Dubai – Mubasher: Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC Group) on Sunday announced the opening of five new service stations by the end of 2018, expanding its network to 128 service stations in the UAE.
The Dubai-government owned firm targets raising the number of stations by 40% by 2020, ENOC said in a statement.
“Built in compliance with the Dubai Municipality’s Green Build regulations, the stations are designed with UL Certified double wall tanks and fuel piping with secondary containment to mitigate environmental pollution,” the statement highlighted.
The new stations, located in Wadi Al Safa, Dubai-Al Ain Road, Warsan 3, Nad Al Shiba 3 and Muhaisnah, will help residents and tourists to meet their fueling needs as well as their daily necessities.
Commenting on the opening of the new stations, Saif Humaid Al Falasi, Group CEO, said, “Our plans to expand our retail network are in line with the goals of Dubai Plan 2021 to establish Dubai as a smart and sustainable city, further underlined by our focus on developing service stations powered by solar energy.”
He added that the company is working on strengthening Dubai’s infrastructure to meet both short-term and long-term fuel needs, especially during the preparations for Expo 2020 Dubai.
Moreover, the Photo-Voltaic (PV) solar panels, installed on the canopy of service stations, can generate up to 120,000 kilowatt per hour energy.
“The service stations are also equipped with DEWA’s electrical vehicle charging stations, as well as an integrated digital wall displays on the forecourt columns,” the statement noted.
