Enova, a leading integrated energy solutions provider and a joint venture between Majid Al Futtaim and Veolia, has announced a landmark collaboration with Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management and automation, to advance sustainable energy solutions across the Gulf region. The partnership aims to leverage cutting-edge technologies and expertise to drive decarbonization, enhance energy efficiency, and support the transition to resilient, low-carbon energy systems.

Technology Meets Expertise for a Sustainable Future

The alliance combines Schneider Electric’s innovative technologies—including microgrids, solar photovoltaic (PV) systems, and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure—with Enova’s proven track record in energy efficiency strategies and advanced asset management. This synergy will enable clients across diverse sectors to optimize energy consumption, modernize aging facilities, and align operations with regional and global sustainability targets.

“This collaboration underscores our commitment to accelerating the Gulf’s journey toward a sustainable energy future,” said Renaud Capris, CEO of Enova. “By integrating Schneider Electric’s advanced technologies with our deep operational expertise, we can deliver tailored solutions that reduce costs, lower emissions, and create long-term value for our clients.”

A Track Record of Impact

Since its inception in 2002, Enova has helped regional clients achieve over AED 530 million in energy cost savings and cut carbon emissions by more than 580,000 tons. The partnership with Schneider Electric will amplify these efforts, particularly through initiatives like Schneider’s EcoFit and EcoCare programs, which focus on modernizing infrastructure and promoting circular economy practices.

Capris emphasized the alignment with stakeholder goals, including Veolia’s GreenUp strategic program, stating, “Together, we are uniquely positioned to empower businesses to decarbonize operations while contributing meaningfully to the Gulf’s net-zero ambitions.”

A Regional Imperative for Decarbonization

The Gulf’s push to diversify energy sources and reduce reliance on fossil fuels has intensified in recent years. Amel Chadli, President of Gulf Countries at Schneider Electric, highlighted the urgency: “Businesses across sectors must prioritize energy optimization, facility modernization, and sustainability to thrive in a decarbonizing economy. Our collaboration with Enova sets a new benchmark by merging technology with on-the-ground expertise.”

She added, “Through this partnership, we aim to support organizations in adopting smart, scalable solutions that balance operational resilience with environmental stewardship.”

Smart Solutions for a Changing Energy Landscape

The collaboration will prioritize the integration of renewable energy into core business operations, supported by Schneider Electric’s connected technologies and Enova’s asset management capabilities. This includes deploying AI-driven energy management systems, enhancing grid flexibility through microgrids, and expanding EV infrastructure to meet growing demand.

By uniting global innovation with localized execution, the partnership seeks to empower businesses to meet evolving sustainability requirements while advancing the Gulf’s position as a hub for clean energy innovation.
