DEWA briefs delegation from World Hydrogen MENA on its most prominent projects

Dubai, UAE: Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) accompanied a high-level delegation from the World Hydrogen MENA on a tour of its Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the largest single-site solar park in the world using the Independent Power Producer (IPP) model. It will have a production capacity of 5,000 megawatts (MW) by 2030. The visiting delegation comprised of senior global hydrogen leaders toured the solar park and was briefed on DEWA’s Research and Development (R&D) Centre and the Innovation Centre. These centres adopt innovation to develop practical solutions to climate change by reducing carbon emissions. The delegation received a detailed explanation of the green hydrogen project, which DEWA implemented in cooperation with Expo 2020 Dubai and Siemens Energy. It is the first in the Middle East and North Africa to produce hydrogen using solar energy. It stores the hydrogen and then converts it into electrical energy for use in the air, land, sea transport sectors and other industries.

HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, noted that the green hydrogen project is receiving increasing global attention for its role in achieving competitive prices in producing green hydrogen. It supports the UAE’s leadership and competitiveness in
