Regional energy management services leader Enova celebrates 20 years of enabling MENA organizations to reduce energy and water consumption, increase efficiencies, and save costs

• Partnership between Majid Al Futtaim and Veolia has grown significantly across Gulf, Egypt, Levant, and Türkiye, enabling more than AED340 million in total cost savings and a total of 430,000 tons in CO₂ reduction

   

 

Dubai, United Arab Emirates, 23 May 2023: Marking two decades of operations in MENA, Enova, the regional leader in integrated energy and multi-technical services, is reporting that it has enabled total energy cost savings of more than AED340 million and a total CO₂ reduction of more than 430,000 tons for clients since its establishment as a partnership between Majid Al Futtaim and Veolia in 2002.

With four ESCO (energy service company) accreditations in the region, Enova delivers comprehensive and performance-based energy and facilities management solutions to the Middle East’s largest international airports, healthcare facilities, hotels and resorts, and shopping malls, as well as metros and trams. 

According to CEO Renaud Capris, demand for Enova’s services will continue to grow as organizations in MENA prioritize energy-efficient solutions. “As we enter our 20^th anniversary year, the region is more focused on sustainability than ever before, and there is tremendous demand for energy efficiency enabled through technology and digitalization. Moreover, 2023 has been declared the ‘Year of Sustainability’ by the UAE and COP28 will be hosted in Dubai, marking the second consecutive year that the global event will be held in the region,” Capris says.

“In this context, Enova’s immediate priorities over the next decade will be around increasing the energy efficiency of our customers, reducing their carbon footprint, and delivering clean, renewable energy solutions, through global innovations combined with regional and industry expertise,” he adds.

Through its real-time Hubgrade monitoring dashboard, Enova’s clients receive predictive models and advanced data analysis of energy consumption, leading to opportunities to reduce further resource usage and meet their sustainability objectives.

By integrating energy performance with facilities management solutions, Enova enables organizations in both the public and private sectors to focus on their own operations and core competencies.

Growth drivers

Supporting regional organizations with net-zero and sustainability strategy goals, Capris anticipates sizable growth opportunities in 2023 from the transportation, healthcare, hospitality, and industry sectors, with a considerable pipeline of energy performance demand coming from the region’s private sector.

“Solar Photovoltaic technologies are among Enova’s growth drivers for 2023 and beyond,” Capris continued. “In parallel, energy-efficient solutions are increasingly enabling regional organizations to optimize their costs, while equally reassuring their own customers of a measurable and sustainable approach to reduce usage for electricity and water.”

Attracting, developing, and retaining talent in energy performance is a key goal for Enova, which employs more than 5,000 professionals across the MENA region, with a focus on nationalization in markets such as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the UAE.

Increased market regulation and a regional focus on digital transformation are among the major trends that will drive Enova’s continued expansion in the next 10 years. “Companies are increasingly adopting their country’s focus on measurable sustainability goals, and at the same time, building and system automation are becoming more prevalent, with AI and other innovations delivering greater insight and digitalized improvements,” Capris concluded.

رائدة خدمات إدارة الطاقة الإقليمية في الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا

"إنوڤا" تحتفل بعشرين عامًا من تمكين المؤسسات من خفض استهلاك الطاقة والمياه وتوفير التكاليف

 

نمو ملحوظ في الشراكة بين "ماجد الفطيم" و"ڤيوليا" في أنحاء الخليج ومصر والمشرق العربي وتركيا أتاح خفض أكثر من 340 مليون درهم في إجمالي التكاليف و430 ألف طن في ثاني أكسيد الكربون

 

   

 

دبي، الإمارات العربية المتحدة، 23 مايو2023 – أعلنت "إنوڤا"، الشركة الإقليمية الرائدة في الإدارة المتكاملة للطاقة والمنشآت والخدمات متعددة التقنيات، عن أنها نجحت في تمكين المؤسسات في منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا من تحقيق وفرٍ إجمالي في تكاليف الطاقة تجاوز 340 مليون درهم إماراتي، وخفضٍ في انبعاثات ثاني أكسيد الكربون بلغ أكثر من 430 ألف طن، وذلك بمناسبة تأسيسها قبل عقدين في إطار شراكة بين "ماجد الفطيم" و"فيوليا" في عام 2002.

 

وتزوّد "إنوڤا" عددًا من أكبر المطارات الدولية ومرافق الرعاية الصحية والفنادق والمنتجعات ومراكز التسوق وأنظمة المترو والترام في الشرق الأوسط، بحلول إدارة شاملة للطاقة والمرافق، تتّسم بكونها قائمة على الأداء، وذلك من خلال أربع شهادات اعتماد إقليمية حصلت عليها من شركات خدمات الطاقة "إسكو".

 

وتوقّع رينو كابري الرئيس التنفيذي لشركة "إنوڤا"، استمرار النمو في الطلب على خدمات الشركة، مشيرًا إلى أن المؤسسات في الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا تحرص على إعطاء الأولوية للحلول الموفرة للطاقة. وأضاف: "نجد اليوم، في عامنا العشرين في المنطقة، اهتمامًا متزايدًا بالاستدامة لم يسبق له مثيل، فثمّة طلب هائل على حلول كفاءة الطاقة القائمة على التقنيات الحديثة والرقمنة، وعلاوة على ذلك، فقد أعلنت دولة الإمارات أن عام 2023 هو "عام الاستدامة"، في حين تستعدّ دبي لاستضافة مؤتمر "كوب 28"، الحدث الدولي الكبير الذي يقام في المنطقة للعام الثاني على التوالي".

 

وفي هذا السياق، سوف تتمحور أولويات "إنوڤا" على مدار العقد المقبل حول زيادة كفاءة الطاقة وتقليل البصمة الكربونية وتقديم حلول الطاقة النظيفة والمتجددة للمؤسسات، من خلال الابتكارات العالمية المدعومة بالخبرة الإقليمية والتخصصية الواسعة، بحسب الرئيس التنفيذي للشركة.

 

ويتلقى عملاء "إنوڤا" نماذج تنبؤية وتحليلات بيانية متقدمة لاستهلاك الطاقة، من خلال لوحة البيانات المتصلة لحظة بلحظة بالمنصة "هبغريد" Hubgrade، ما يؤدي إلى إيجاد فرص مواتية لتقليل استهلاكهم للموارد وتحقيق أهدافهم الخاصة بالاستدامة.

 

وتمكّن "إنوڤا" المؤسسات في كل من القطاعين العام والخاص من التركيز على عملياتها وكفاءاتها الأساسية، من خلال الدمج ما بين إدارة الطاقة وحلول إدارة المرافق.

 

محرّكات النمو

 

وتوقّع كابري أن تشهد المنطقة فرص نمو كبيرة في عام 2023 في قطاعات النقل والرعاية الصحية والضيافة والصناعة، مع طلب واسع على حلول أداء الطاقة من القطاع الخاص في المنطقة، مؤكّدًا اهتمام الشركة بدعم المؤسسات في المنطقة للوصول إلى أهدافها الاستراتيجية المتعلقة بالحياد الكربوني والاستدامة.

 

ومضى كابري إلى القول: "تُعدّ تقنيات الطاقة الشمسية الكهروضوئية من أهمّ محرّكات النمو لدى "إنوڤا" لعام 2023 والسنوات التي تليه، وبالتوازي مع هذا، فإن الحلول الموفرة للطاقة تمكّن المؤسسات في المنطقة من التوفير في التكاليف، وطمأنة عملائها تجاه اتباع نهج مستدام وقابل للقياس لترشيد استهلاك الكهرباء والمياه".

 

ويُعدّ استقطاب أصحاب المواهب التخصصية في أداء الطاقة، وتنميتهم واستبقائهم، هدفًا رئيسًا لشركة "إنوڤا"، التي توظف ما يزيد على 5,000 متخصص في جميع أنحاء منطقة الشرق الأوسط وشمال إفريقيا، مع التركيز على التوطين في أسواق مثل المملكة العربية السعودية ودولة الإمارات.

 

وترى الشركة في زيادة التشريعات التنظيمية للسوق الإقليمية، والتركيز على التحوّل الرقمي فيها، من أهمّ التوجهات التي من شأنها المساهمة في التوسّع المستمر للشركة في السنوات العشر القادمة. وانتهى كابري إلى القول: "يزداد إقبال المؤسسات في انحاء المنطقة على تبنّي الأهداف الوطنية الخاصة بالاستدامة والقابلة للقياس، في وقت أصبحت أتمتة البناء والأنظمة أكثر انتشارًا، لا سيما مع قدرة تقنيات الذكاء الاصطناعي والابتكارات الأخرى مما يتيح رؤى أعمق وإضفاء المزيد من التحسينات الرقمية".

Savoye achieves remarkable growth in 2022 with turnover exceeding AED 800 million

The company is pursuing it growth strategies, further setting new goals to expand across Middle Eastern countries

The company will participate in Seamless Middle East 2023 to share insights on best practises

 

21, May 2023: Savoye, a leading global warehouse automation integrator and software publisher in the Middle East, achieved a remarkable milestone globally by attaining a global turnover of over AED 800 million in 2022, which is a six per cent increase compared to the previous year.

 

Savoye's remarkable growth in 2022 can be attributed to its unwavering focus on innovation, quality, and customer satisfaction, despite the challenges posed by a rapidly changing and fiercely competitive market. By remaining dedicated and working tirelessly, Savoye has been able to retain its position as a leader in the fields of warehouse automation and software publishing. This achievement is a testament to its commitment to providing innovative solutions and exceptional customer service.

 

Furthermore, Savoye will share its expertise at the Seamless Middle East 2023, which will be held on May 23 and 24. The company will showcase its innovative ACR Robotic Solutions, goods-to-person X-PTS system, packing solutions and their most popular solution, the ODATiO, which is a combination of WMS (Warehouse Management System) and TMS (Transport Management System). Additionally, Alain Kaddoum will be a part of a panel discussion on day one titled ‘The promise of next-level automation: the future with autonomous robots’ during which he will share his insights on the best practices in the industry.

 

Alain Kaddoum, Managing Director of Savoye Middle East, said: “We are proud of Savoye’s successful journey, and the improvements we are bringing about through our innovative solutions in the logistics and supply chain industry. These milestones are a testament to our internal team's tenacity and commitment, as well as their fresh concepts and ideas. The growth we saw last year motivates us to keep innovating and expanding our services and solutions. The lack of components throughout 2022 had an impact on our operations in terms of budgeting and planning.”

 

He added: “Our team's mobilisation and the execution of action plans helped reduce the delay in realisation of the turnover. The supply-side conflict and the impact of price rises are still an issue in 2023. As one of the key companies in this market, which is still developing on a global basis, we plan to keep expanding our market share and sustaining our growth trajectory. We are also excited to be a part of Seamless Middle East this year and we intend to take the opportunity to meet new business prospects, forge new relations and share our expertise.”

 

Savoye conducted over 100 recruitment efforts in 2022 to reach the approximately 1,000 people who are currently employed by the global organisation. Furthermore, new production facilities are also a part of this exceptional growth. Moreover, sales results from new X-PTS automated preparation projects have been largely responsible for the rise in sales across Europe and the US in 2022. With a complementarity of technology and software that enables Savoye to complete larger projects, the company's automated warehouse solutions stand out from the competition.

 

The growth in sales achieved through the network of Savoye Business Partners has also been exceptional. These global integration partnerships have been increasing in number, further making a considerable impact on sales of packaging machines, which broke their record in 2022.

 

Savoye aims at further expand across Middle Eastern markets to boost sales and introduce their innovative solutions in more countries. The company is currently setting up its office in Saudi Arabia and bringing new leads while providing its high-quality solutions.
