Today, climate change is considered one of the biggest threats to humanity. With disruption in our ecosystem as well as a rise in surface temperature globally, our world is experiencing global warming like never before. A majority of it contributes to the burning of fossil fuels. However, it’s not that easy to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels. Still, 80 percent of global energy consumption comes from fossil fuels. But on a positive note, the world is gradually moving towards various types of renewable energy sources, especially solar.
A square meter on the earth receives approximately 1.3 KW of solar power that can be harnessed for all of the global energy needs. Secon Engineering Consultancy, a UAE-based leading Engineering Consultancy Services provider in the MENA region, helps organizations fulfill their energy needs by harnessing solar power.
A Wide Service Portfolio
A pioneer in the renewable energy space, Secon Engineering Consultancy's offering is not just limited to solar power generation but also to Overhead transmission lines commencing from initial route survey, tower spotting, preparation of plan & profile, tower design, sag & tension, cable sizing calculation, and foundation design using sophisticated software.
The firm's operation is led by a team of industry experts and engineers with extensive experience and expertise in the domain. The team has already participated in various environmental impact studies related to solar and other electrical projects and has also engaged in studies such as solar power integration impact studies using software.
Apart from their expertise in the 33/11kv distribution system and the LV system, Secon Engineering Consultancy also has extensive experience integrating the power generated into the national network involving 400/220/33kV substations and cable works.
From the conceptualization to commissioning of generation, transmission, and distribution of electrical energy ranging from EHV to low voltage, the team has the specialization to get involved in all aspects of a project, including FEED, basic design, detail design, FAT/SAT, and all other project activities.
According to W. J. Alexander, Founder & Managing Director, “Secon Engineering Consultancy leverages its vast industry experience to offer a cost-effective solution to clients based on the resources available and climatic conditions”. “Apart from Solar, the team also proposes other renewable energy solutions, such as wind, biogas, and so on, depending on the available resources and energy requirements of the client", Alexander adds.
Offering Customized Solutions Based on Client Requirements
The firm does a feasibility study based on client requirements before proposing a suitable and cost-effective energy solution. The team ensures full compliance with the Quality, Safety, Health, and Environmental standards necessary during project implementation. “The world is gradually moving towards renewable sources. Due to the market competition and the prevailing trend of Solarization, the main components, such as solar panels, inverters, and so on, are now available at cost-effective prices. Even the return on Investment (ROI) is very attractive, with the solar panels having a warranty period of over 25 years”, Alexander explains.

Accomplishments & Future Roadmap
One of the most prestigious projects taken up by Secon Engineering Consultancy is for Sterling and Wilson. The firm executed one of the major Solar Projects in the Middle East in Abu Dhabi, UAE with a generation capacity of 1177MW as a Project Management Consultant. The initial plan was to have a capacity of 350MW before it was enhanced to the preset rating.
Around three million Solar Panels were installed over 8.2 square kilometers with a solar power generation voltage of .4kv, further stepping up to 33kv through a step-up transformer of 2MVA. This voltage was then transmitted to a substation 33kV/220kv stepped-up transformer of 500MVA. The resulting value was further transmitted to the nearby Grid Station of 220kv through 220Kv XLPE underground Cables to a tune of over 12 kilometers. Throughout the whole process, the team was constantly coordinating with the Owner/ Engineer for all aspects of the activities involved.
Since its inception, Secon Engineering Consultancy has come a long way in terms of overall growth, industry expertise, and project execution. Looking at the current trend of global transition towards renewable sources, the firm is hopeful of a future, where the world will get free electricity just by fully harnessing the solar power the earth receives.
“Secon Engineering Consultancy with its team of experts and experience, could be one of the leaders in this field. While the world is looking for safe and friendly energy sources, with the latest trend of development of conversion of solar to electricity improving at tremendous speed, it will be the energy of the world”, Alexander concludes.
