Overview
Enviromena Power Systems is a clean-energy technology and infrastructure company focused primarily on utility-scale and distributed solar photovoltaic projects. Founded in 2007 by Sami Khoreibi, the company developed from a Middle Eastern solar specialist into an international project developer and engineering, procurement, and construction contractor operating across Europe, the Middle East, and North Africa. Its work has included utility-scale grid-connected photovoltaic plants, rooftop systems, solar car parks, and hybrid solar-diesel microgrids for remote locations. The company’s early growth was closely associated with the emergence of large-scale solar power in the United Arab Emirates. Enviromena designed and installed the 10 MW Masdar Solar Power Plant in Abu Dhabi, commissioned in 2009. The project was the first utility-scale photovoltaic plant connected to the Abu Dhabi municipal grid and established the company as an early regional solar engineering and construction specialist. Enviromena also retained the plant’s operations and maintenance contract. Other work in the UAE included photovoltaic systems integrated into buildings and infrastructure, including a rooftop installation at Shams Tower at Yas Marina Circuit and a solar-shaded car park structure at Masdar City. Enviromena expanded internationally through projects in Germany, Mauritania, Jordan, Egypt, Morocco, and the United Kingdom. Its 11 MWp plant at Gotha in Germany became operational in 2012, while a 15 MWp photovoltaic project in Mauritania, completed in 2013 with Masdar financing, was described at inauguration as the country’s largest photovoltaic plant. The company also developed hybrid systems combining solar generation with diesel generators for isolated facilities. At Al Jarnain in Abu Dhabi, a solar-diesel microgrid was designed to supply continuous electricity without battery storage. A later project on Al Yassat Island for the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority used photovoltaic generation, existing diesel generators, and a customized microgrid control system. A significant later project was the 103 MW Quweira solar plant in Jordan, constructed with Spanish partner TSK. The plant was inaugurated in 2018 after construction under a long-term power purchase agreement with Jordan’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. Enviromena and TSK participated as equal joint-venture partners, with financing from the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development. According to the cited company and encyclopedia material, Enviromena had installed more than 17,000 solar systems and had more than 425 MW of solar power plants in operation, with a further 200 MW under construction. Earlier company descriptions also reported more than 43 MWp of grid-connected solar capacity across 36 projects in six countries and additional projects under construction in Egypt, Jordan, and Morocco. These figures refer to different reporting periods and scopes and should not be treated as a single current capacity statement. Enviromena attracted investment from clean-technology investors including Good Energies, Zouk Ventures, New Energies Invest, Moez Kassam, and the Masdar Cleantech Fund. In January 2010, the company completed a Series B financing round in which Masdar became its largest shareholder. In 2018, Enviromena was sold to Arjun Infrastructure Partners. The founding team subsequently left the business, and a new leadership structure was installed. By 2021, several senior executives had departed, and the business had relocated to Reading while retaining a separate MENA leadership presence in the United Arab Emirates. Later company information described the operating business as focused on the United Kingdom and Europe, led by Chris Marsh.
History
Enviromena Power Systems was founded in 2007 by Sami Khoreibi during the formative period of large-scale solar development in the Middle East. The company initially concentrated on photovoltaic engineering, procurement, and construction, helping establish utility-scale solar capability in the United Arab Emirates. Sander Trestain served as chief operating officer during the company’s early period, while Erik Voldner, as chief commercial officer, was associated with the establishment of the region’s first solar EPC operation. Enviromena’s first major project was the 10 MW Masdar Solar Power Plant in Abu Dhabi. Designed and installed by the company, the plant was commissioned in June 2009 and became the first utility-scale photovoltaic facility connected to the Abu Dhabi municipal grid. Enviromena continued to provide operations and maintenance services for the plant. The project gave the company a reference installation in a region where solar power was still at an early stage of commercial deployment. The company raised external capital as it expanded. Investors identified in the company’s reference material include Good Energies, Zouk Ventures, New Energies Invest, Moez Kassam, and the Masdar Cleantech Fund. A Series B financing round completed in January 2010 made Masdar the company’s largest shareholder. Enviromena subsequently broadened its project portfolio beyond the UAE. In Germany, it delivered an 11 MWp photovoltaic plant at Gotha, which became operational in 2012 and was connected to the local municipal grid. The project used driven-post and screw-post mounting approaches and was reported to produce approximately 11,000 MWh annually. In Mauritania, Enviromena completed a 15 MWp photovoltaic plant financed by Masdar in 2013. At its inauguration, the project was described as the largest photovoltaic installation in Africa and was expected to supply a substantial share of Mauritania’s electricity while reducing carbon emissions. The company also developed solar systems for specialized built environments, including a building-integrated photovoltaic rooftop installation at Shams Tower at Yas Marina Circuit and a solar car park shade structure at Masdar City. A second area of development was hybrid power for isolated sites. At Al Jarnain in Abu Dhabi, Enviromena combined a 755 kWp solar photovoltaic system with 2.4 MW of diesel generation through a microgrid. The system was designed to deliver continuous power without batteries and to reduce fuel consumption. Because the site was exposed to a marine environment, the company designed corrosion-resistant mounting equipment using glass-reinforced plastics. Enviromena later developed a similar concept for Al Yassat Island for the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, integrating an 800 kWp photovoltaic system with existing diesel generators and a control system that adjusted generator operation according to solar output and instantaneous demand. The company’s largest identified project was the 103 MW Quweira solar plant in Jordan, developed and constructed with TSK of Spain. Enviromena and TSK formed an equal joint venture and completed construction in 18 months. The plant was inaugurated on April 28, 2018, under a 25-year power purchase agreement with Jordan’s Ministry of Energy and Mineral Resources. Financing was provided by the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development. In 2018, Enviromena was sold to Arjun Infrastructure Partners. The transaction marked a change in ownership and management: the founding team left, and Cabell Fisher became chief executive for the MENA business, supported by Stuart Bannerman as chief financial officer, Matthew Wells as chief legal officer, and David McLeod as chief administrative officer. By 2021, Bannerman, Wells, and McLeod had left to pursue other opportunities. The business relocated to Reading, England, while Fisher continued to lead the MENA operation from the UAE. Later company information described Enviromena’s remaining operating focus as the United Kingdom and Europe, with Chris Marsh as chief executive officer and support from Christina Allen, Gary Hales, Lee Adams, and Mark Harding. Adrian Pike served as chairman from 2020 and was described as returning to the chair after an earlier period in the role. Company and reference material reported more than 17,000 installed solar systems, over 425 MW of solar plants in operation, and an additional 200 MW under construction. Earlier figures reported more than 43 MWp of grid-connected capacity across 36 projects in six countries and additional construction activity in Egypt, Jordan, and Morocco. Because these figures come from different periods and measurement scopes, they should be interpreted as historical disclosures rather than a unified current portfolio total.
