Petra Solar and Enviromena Power Systems have formed an alliance so the two can develop solar and smart grid projects in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

Petra Solar is the pioneer and market leader of Smart Solar, an innovative approach that couples solar with smart grid technology to generate clean, safe renewable energy while making the electric infrastructure more stable, efficient and energy independent. The platform is scalable to future smart grid applications including energy efficiency.

Enviromena Power Systems is the leading developer of solar projects in the MENA. Their highly experienced team finances, designs, installs and operates solar power plants. Enviromena Power Systems is headquartered in Abu Dhabi, capital of the United Arab Emirates.

“The increasing demand for solar energy and grid reliability provides a tremendous opportunity for Petra Solar throughout the Middle East and the world. Collaborating with Enviromena, the leading developer of solar projects in the Middle East and North Africa, will facilitate the international expansion of our products and business development in the region,” said Dr. Shihab Kuran, President and CEO of Petra Solar. “Enviromena has an impressive list of completed projects including the Masdar 10MW Power Plant and has the largest installed capacity of any solar developer in the Middle East and North Africa.”

“Petra Solar’s unique technology greatly expands our portfolio of photovoltaic solutions available to the MENA region,” said Sami Khoreibi, CEO of Enviromena. “We see a large market here for distributed solar applications, particularly where smart grid iitiatives are taking place.”
