he UAE is at the forefront
of development, where it
has transformed from a
humble lifestyle centred on
fishing and pearl diving, to a
bustling metropolitan hub that
attracts thousands of businesses
and tourists from the world over,
all in a span of 45 years.
The dynamic growth of the
country is leading the rise in de-
mand for state-of-the-art genera-
tors, which have been supporting
various sectors, including con-
struction activities, development
of infrastructure, as well as set-
ting establishments such as ho-
tels, business hubs and industries
in motion.
Generators provide the cor-
rect amount of energy to drive
mechanics and other devices to
operate at their optimum per-
formance.
Keeping the power output in
mind, there are a number of man-
ufacturers, suppliers and distribu-
tors in the UAE that offer quality
generators, promising long-last-
ing service and reliability. FG

along with zero risk of power out-

modern world where connectivity
is an absolute necessity. Jengan
LLC too has teamed up with Mit-
subishi to offer alternative source
of power for electricity genera-
tion in the country, besides offer-
ing Yanmae and Perkins engines.
To date, diesel generators are
sought-after for its reliable fea-
tures, with the market primarily
driven by cities such as Dubai and
Abu Dhabi. According to 6Wre-
search, the UAE diesel genset
(which is a combination of diesel
engine and an electric generator)
market is projected to touch
$309.9 million by 2022. This is
further propelled by the upcom-
ing Dubai World Expo 2020.
However, with a vision to tran-
sition into a greener, smarter na-
tion, the UAE is looking to adopt
solar generators, which are cost-

abundant sunshine.
As demand for power supply
grows, various companies are
coming up with hybrid solar-die-
sel solutions to offer clients long-
term savings.
When compared, mobile solar
units at project sites can cut fuel
consumption by 30 to 40 per
cent, out of the Dh3 million worth
of fuel required to produce one
megawatt of electricity.
The UAE is also looking at
other ways to secure power and
hydroelectric power generation
through renewable sources of
energy, which could bring about
a new set of investments and job
creation, as well as a reduction
in greenhouse gas emissions.
The country is expected to pro-
duce around 24 per cent of its
electricity from clean sources by
the year 2021.
According to the Dubai Inte-
grated Energy Strategy for 2030,
presented by the Dubai Supreme
Council of Energy, energy sourc-
es would further be diversified,
with a reduction in demand by 30
per cent by the year 2030.
