Dubai, UAE:
Altaaqa Global CAT Rental Power has recently received the award for ‘Power
Project of the Year’ for its power plant project in Aden, Yemen. Altaaqa Global
was highly commended for its contribution to product innovation, social
responsibility and impressive delivery during the Middle East Electricity
Awards 2014, held at the Dubai International Convention Centre in Dubai, United
Arab Emirates.
According
to the judges, “Altaaqa Global played a critical role in the electric power
industry. This award category is given to a company that offers the best
planning, delivery and execution of any power plant in the Middle East region.
Altaaqa Global won in this category for its excellent design, innovative power
solutions, fuel savings, record-breaking project installation and an
exceptional commitment to provide support to its client.”
The 54 MW
temporary power plant was built in just 23 days from signing the contract and
has the capacity to supply up to 150,000 homes with electricity, benefitting
more than half a million people in the city of Aden.
Khalil
Abdul Malik, General Manager of Yemen’s Public Electricity Corporation,
commented, “Altaaqa Global is not only our supplier, but a real and genuine
partner that helped us to solve the most difficult energy challenges in our
country. Their strategic approach to solving complex electrical challenges
combined with stellar innovation, unequalled customer support, the best of
breed fuel-efficient power solutions and an impressive on-time delivery is a
real testament to their achievement. They have gone the extra mile and made an indelible
mark in Yemen as one of the most reliable temporary power companies.”
“We are
humbled when our peers in the engineering and construction industry recognise
our hard work in providing temporary power solutions to areas where electricity
is scarce or not available,” said Peter den Boogert, General Manager of Altaaqa
Global. “We are also proud of our record as the fastest energy rental company
that can deliver power rental solutions at a moment’s notice, even during
emergencies. Altaaqa Global has been recognised with this momentous award and I
attribute our success to the team spirit and combined diligent efforts of our
great people.”
Steven
Meyrick, Board Representative of Altaaqa Global, added, “We are always
committed to deliver exceptional temporary power and energy solutions anywhere
in the world. Every employee knows that hundreds of millions of people rely on
us every day and that is what our job is all about – providing a service to the
people. Our organisation goes beyond the paradigm of rental power: we not only
provide boxes of generators, but we provide progress too. We bring hope and
stability to communities, companies and entire nations through our energy
solutions. No matter how complex our clients’ problems may be, we always have the
right solutions and are always ready to serve.”
Majid
Zahid, Director for Strategic Accounts at Altaaqa Global, said, “This
achievement demonstrates our capability to deliver effective and efficient
energy solutions. Our strategic partners in Caterpillar, together with our
engineering team, always provide the most modern equipment and innovative
solutions that no other rental power company can match. Our work in Oman, where
we installed 24 MW in just 96 hours, and our Yemen power plant, which took only
23 days to build, are energy industry record breakers.”
