Aggreko is to install a 24 MW off-grid gas and battery hybrid power solution at a steel mill in the United Arab Emirates to cut fuel costs and carbon emissions. The technology will be delivered to the United Steel Industries mill in Fujairah, which is the largest of its type in the UAE and supplies 1.1 million tonnes of components to the construction and manufacturing sectors in the region. The five-year deal marks the first time Aggreko will deliver a gas-battery hybrid solution to an off-grid industrial complex in the Middle East and it claims the solution – which has been optimized to handle the emirate’s extreme heat – will deliver a 49% saving on the cost of fuel.
