Heliocentris secures order in Qatar and expands its presence in the Middle East
Qatar University places an order and opening of an office in Dubai
Heliocentris Energy Solutions AG, a specialist in energy-efficiency and autonomous power solutions, has acquired an order from Qatar University. The company has been asked to supply a complete laboratory – the “New Energy Lab” – perspectively in October. This product is a complete energy system for conveying practical knowledge in the fields of energy generation, storage and management. The system combines energy generation from solar, wind and fuel cells with energy storage in batteries and hydrogen technology to simulate an autonomous hybrid energy system for our clients. The price of the system is in excess of €100 thousand.
Qatar University is the largest and most famous higher education institution in Qatar. The order was commissioned by the Mechanical Engineering department at the university as part of setting up a complete research laboratory for renewable energies. The set up of complex renewable energy labs is currently emerging as a global trend and Heliocentris, with its Didactic business unit and more than 10 years of experience in the field, is internationally one of the leading companies in this segment. The Didactic business unit has an extensive portfolio of training and research systems for fuel cells and hydrogen as well as other renewable energy technologies.
“We already have clients in Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia and Yemen who can vouch for the quality of our products and technology. This new order for Qatar will enable us to further expand our position in the Middle East”, explains Dr Andras Gosztonyi, CFO of Heliocentris Energy Solutions AG. “A decisive step towards our expansion drive in the Middle East was undoubtedly the equity participation of National Technology Enterprises Company (NTEC), a fully owned subsidiary of Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA) into Heliocentris.” In order to be able to efficiently implement larger projects in the region, particularly in the energy efficiency and autonomous power business, Heliocentris is currently setting up an office in Dubai. Dr Gosztonyi is adamant about this: “These facilities will strengthen our presence and ability to implement projects in the region and thereby form the basis for further business expansion in all our three business units, especially since we have good cause to hope for larger orders here in the near future”.
