Dubai, UAE: For the first time, the world celebrates the International Day of Clean Energy this year with the United Nation’s approval of 26 January as the International Day of Clean Energy. This date coincides with the anniversary of the establishment of the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) in 2009. The UAE hosts IRENA’s headquarters in Abu Dhabi.

HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), emphasised that the UAE is one of the leading countries in the transition towards clean and renewable energy. It ranked second globally in the Energy Transition pillar of the Green Future Index (GFI) 2023 and the 6th highest per capita consumer of solar energy in the world.

Al Tayer noted that DEWA supports the National efforts to consolidate sustainability systems and programmes in various development sectors. The UAE aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 19% in 2030, 62% in 2040, to reach net zero by 2050. The UAE also aims to triple the contribution of renewable energy and invest AED 150 to AED 200 billion by 2030.
