Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) received a German delegation, headed by Rainer Baake, State Secretary at the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy. The meeting was held at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the largest single-site solar park in the world based on the Independent Power Producer (IPP) model. The meeting supports DEWA’s commitment to enhance cooperation and joint work, and exchange expertise and best practices with international organizations.
The meeting was also attended by Waleed Salman - Executive Vice President of Business Development and Excellence, Jamal Al Hammadi - Vice President, and Ishaq Al Hammadi – EMD of SHUAA Energy 1
During the visit, DEWA team presented DEWA’s most important projects, initiatives, and programmes, which adopt sustainability as part of its vision. DEWA has adopted the triple-bottom-line approach to sustainability of economy, society, and the environment. This supports the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, announced by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to provide 75% of Dubai's total power output from clean energy by 2050. These projects include the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, which has a planned capacity of 5,000 megawatts (MW) by 2030, at a total investment of AED 50 billion and will eventually save approximately 6.5 million tonnes per annum in carbon emissions.
The German delegation commended DEWA’s efforts and projects to increase the share of renewable and clean energy in Dubai’s energy mix. The German side expressed interest in participating in DEWA’s projects, especially at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.
