Dubai, UAE (12 June 2024): The region’s newest force in sustainable solutions, X-NOOR, a joint venture between X-ELIO, a global leader in solar solutions, and DUTCO, a leader in infrastructure projects in the GCC region, proudly announces an agreement with Modern Freight Company (MFC), one of the key players in Dubai’s logistics industry, to provide renewable energy at MFC’s Logistics Park and Logistics Center in Dubai, for the next 20 years.

The collaboration highlights both company’s efforts towards a greener future with a rooftop solar PV installation expected to produce around 18 GWh of energy over 20 years.

With its commitment to ensuring the highest level of international and regional standards, the renowned solar developer is implementing sustainable solutions to harness the region’s abundance of solar power.

Strategically positioned next to Jebel Ali port berths, MFC’s warehouses offer not just convenience, but also the highest standards in sustainability.

Beyond its operational excellence, MFC has received multiple awards and commendations for its efforts in sustainability, such as the Sustainable 3pl Logistics Company of the Year 2022 at the Freightweek Sustainability Awards and the CSR/Sustainability Initiatives Provider of the Year 2022 at the Landmarks in Logistics Awards which is perfectly in line with X-NOOR’s mission.

Jesus Gutierrez, the General Manager of X-NOOR, said of the company’s expansion efforts, “We are thrilled to expand our operations and bring our innovative solar solutions to more projects across the region. We look forward to forging new partnerships and contributing to the region’s renewable energy goals with the same passion and dedication that has driven our success in the Middle East.”
