Over the years, ENOC Group has made significant savings owing to our innovative efforts as part of our ‘Energy & Resource Management (E&RM)’ programme.

In 2017, ENOC announced that all future service stations will be powered by Photo-Voltaic (PV) solar panels and the company currently operates more than 16 service stations in the UAE using solar energy, generating an estimate of 1.8 GWh of electricity across its retail stations since 2017, which is equivalent to about 100 homes’ electricity use for one year.
