P&G UAE taps solar energy in partnership with Yellow Door Energy

The project will feature a 500-kilowatt-peak (kWp) solar carport system equipped with over 870 bifacial solar panels.

Procter & Gamble (P&G), one of the world’s largest consumer goods firms, has entered into a solar lease agreement with Yellow Door Energy to power its UAE operations with renewable energy.

The project, located at P&G’s facility in the Jebel Ali Freezone Authority (JAFZA), will feature a 500-kilowatt-peak (kWp) solar carport system equipped with over 870 bifacial solar panels. Construction will proceed in four phases to align with P&G’s operational schedule.

Once completed, the solar carport is expected to generate 813,500 kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean energy annually, reducing carbon emissions by 323,000 kilograms in its first year.

“As a company committed to environmental sustainability, this solar lease exemplifies how we integrate clean energy into our operations,” said Sonali Dhawan, General Manager for P&G Gulf.

Yellow Door Energy, headquartered in the UAE, will oversee the financing, design, construction, and maintenance of the solar project. The lease structure allows businesses to reduce energy costs without upfront capital or operational risks while benefiting from sustainable power.

“We are honored to partner with P&G to bring clean electricity to JAFZA and contribute to the UAE Energy Strategy,” said Jeremy Crane, Group CEO of Yellow Door Energy. “With a portfolio of over 355 megawatts-peak (MWp) of solar projects, we aim to empower businesses across the Middle East and Africa to decarbonize and lower energy costs.”
