The signing ceremony took place at PureHealth’s office in Abu Dhabi, attended by senior executives from PureHealth, SEHA and Yellow Door Energy.
Abu Dhabi UAE: PureHealth, the largest healthcare group in the Middle East, and Yellow Door Energy, the leading sustainable energy partner for businesses in the Middle East and South Africa, have signed a master lease agreement to bring clean electricity to its network of hospitals and clinics in the UAE.
The 25-year agreement strengthens operational efficiency, improves long-term cost predictability and embeds sustainability into long-term asset planning. The on-site solar power plants are expected to generate approximately 23.5 million kilowatt-hours (kWh) of clean electricity annually – equal to reducing carbon emissions by 7,200 metric tons – to further align with the UAE’s national Net Zero by 2050 Strategy.
Leya Al Damani, Chief Sustainability Officer at PureHealth, said: “This partnership sets a new benchmark for sustainable healthcare and reflects our responsibility to reduce the healthcare sector’s environmental footprint. By combining resilient infrastructure and reliable power we’re making our hospitals and clinics more operationally efficient to deliver uninterrupted, high-quality patient care. As we work towards net zero by 2040, this project forms a core component of the Smart Facilities and Operations pillar, reducing reliance on fossil fuels and advancing cleaner, more resilient energy systems.”
Jeremy Crane, Group CEO of Yellow Door Energy, said: “We are honored to partner with PureHealth to bring clean electricity to its extensive network of hospitals and clinics across the UAE. Healthcare plays a vital role in societal well-being, and powering these essential facilities with clean energy supports both environmental sustainability and long-term operational resilience. With more than 1.1 terawatt-hours of clean electricity generated from our operating projects, Yellow Door Energy has the expertise to deliver multi-site solutions under master lease agreements. We look forward to supporting PureHealth in accelerating its Net Zero by 2040 commitment and contributing to the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 Strategy.”
Under the master lease agreement, Yellow Door Energy is responsible for financing, designing, constructing, commissioning, operating, and maintaining the solar power plants across PureHealth’s UAE healthcare assets. The solar leasing model enables PureHealth to benefit from clean energy and advance its Net Zero by 2040 ambition and reinforces the group’s commitment to building a smarter, more sustainable healthcare system aligned with the UAE’s national priorities for energy efficiency, digital transformation and climate action.
This partnership reflects a broader shift toward integrated sustainability in healthcare, where clean energy, operational efficiency, and patient-centric care come together to support healthier communities and a more sustainable future.
