LuLu Group Launches Solar Energy Initiative Across Dubai Facilities

LuLu Group has taken a significant step towards sustainability with the launch of a solar energy initiative across five key facilities in Dubai. The project, in partnership with Positive Zero, involves installing solar plants on the rooftops of several LuLu Hypermarkets and the Regional Office. The first operation is already live, with more installations planned for the coming months.

The initiative, which sets a new benchmark for retailers supporting the UAE's clean energy transition, will see solar plants installed on the rooftops of LuLu Hypermarkets in Al Warqa, Rashidiya, Dubai Investments Park (DIP), LuLu Central Logistics hub in DIP, and the Regional Office in Al Qusais. Positive Zero, a company specialising in renewable energy solutions, is providing a complete turnkey service, handling the build, installation, and maintenance of all the solar rooftops.

The solar initiative is expected to have a substantial environmental impact. Over the course of the lease, the solar plants are projected to generate more than 37 million kilowatt-hours of clean energy, preventing the release of over 25,000 metric tons of carbon emissions into the atmosphere. David Auriau, CEO of Positive Zero, praised LuLu Group's commitment to sustainability and the environmental and cost-saving benefits of the initiative. Salim M.A, Director of Lulu Global Operations, echoed this sentiment, stating that sustainability is at the core of LuLu Group's operations and this initiative aligns with the UAE's national goals for a greener future.

LuLu Group's solar energy initiative, in partnership with Positive Zero, is a significant step towards a more sustainable future. With the first operation already live and more installations planned, the project is set to generate substantial clean energy and reduce carbon emissions. The initiative underscores LuLu Group's commitment to sustainability and supports the UAE's clean energy transition.
