Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park to use 100% clean energy by 2050 – Construction Week Online

Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the largest single-site solar park in the world, is one of the most extensive clean and renewable energy projects that Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is implementing to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050.

The solar park has a planned capacity of 5,000 megawatts (MW) by 2030 with investments up to $13 billion. When completed, it will reduce over 6.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually.

In October 2022, the UAE launched its strategic initiative for net-zero emissions by 2050, to become the first country in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) Region to undertake such a strategic initiative.
