“We are delighted to see that green building and sustainable construction that includes the adoption of alternative energy systems is widely accepted and showing an upward trend in Qatar and the region.

“It is an honour to be the first real estate company to sign with QSTec, a company that shares our vision in building a more sustainable future for our nation. We are advocates of the Qatar National Vision 2030 and we will seize every opportunity that will help realize this vision,” added Al Kaabi.

“Our city wide use of solar energy was originally designed to reach 6MW but with this collaboration with QSTec we aim to increase Energy City’s use of solar power to 9MW which represents around 15 per cent of the total energy usage at ECQ” said Al Kaabi.
