UAE: DEWA committed to providing 100% clean power by 2050

The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) supports the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Neto Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050 to provide 100% of the emirate’s total power ouput from clean energy sources by 2050.

This will be done through the implementation of world-leading projects, most notably the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the largest single-site solar park in the world based on the Independent Power Producer Model (IPP), said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of Dewa releasing the 9th Sustainability Report 2021, a WAM report said.

Dubai’s production capacity will reach 5,000 megawatts by 2030. Dewa’s efforts have contributed to reducing carbon emissions in Dubai by 21% in 2021, exceeding the target percentage in the Dubai Carbon Abatement Strategy 2021, which aimed to reduce 16% of carbon emissions by 2021, Al Tayer added. The report introduces partners, relevant entities and all stakeholders to its performance and practices in sustainability.

Achieving SDGs

The report demonstrates the progress made by Dewa, and its significant contributions to achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 2030, as well as its success in supporting sustainable recovery and continuing to implement its projects in the field of sustainability during 2021, despite
