(MENAFN) Bee'ah, a Sharjah-based waste management company, announced that it is planning to build a solar power plant in the emirate with a capacity to generate more than 20 megawatts, Emirates 24/7 reported.
Bee'ah said that it is currently seeking to find a partner who will develop, build and setup the project on the Bee'ah main Landfill Site at the Bee'ah Waste Management Centre in Al Saj'ah area of Sharjah.
The company, which also is planning to expand its scope of operations in 2015 outside the UAE, said that this solar project is part of its renewable energy projects' portfolio, as well as being in lines with its plan to venture into new areas of operations beyond waste management in 2015.
"The solar power project is a significant step forward in our strategic growth as a company into the renewable energy sector. With one of the largest landfills in the region, we aim to utilize the area of our main landfill in Sharjah, which is often seen as contaminated land not readily suitable for commercial development, to implement our first solar project, part of a wider future energy mission, which will power our waste management and recycling facilities," Group CEO of Bee'ah said.
