“All initiatives and exhibitions organised in Abu Dhabi and Dubai support the directives of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, who are providing unlimited support to the sustainable development of the UAE. We are pleased to participate in the World Future Energy Summit held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, as part of Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week. The Summit has become a global platform to attract government leaders, experts, decision-makers, and investors to discuss significant developments in clean and sustainable energy, and come up with applicable solutions that ensure continuous development and innovation in the sustainable energy sector,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.

“The UAE, under the directives of our wise leadership, has taken an early start to bid farewell to the last drop of oil. At DEWA, we encourage research and development in solar energy, under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to enhance energy security and sustainability. Dubai Solar Show will be a key platform for the public and private sectors to make deals, build partnerships, review the latest solar-energy technologies, learn about current and future projects in the region and market needs, and explore opportunities to take part in solar-energy projects and programmes. Organising the show in conjunction with WETEX and the World Green Economy Summit is a chance to reach thousands of exhibitors, participants, officials, and decision makers in the UAE, the Arabian Gulf, and the Middle East as a whole. Participants and visitors can avail of the busy agendas of the two events which feature conferences, workshops, and specialised activities. They can also meet experts and specialists from around the world to discuss developing solar energy and expanding its adoption in the region to achieve the sustainable development and ensure a sustainable future for us, and for generations to come,” added Al Tayer.

At WFES, DEWA will showcase the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, which is the largest single-site solar energy project in the world, based on the Independent Power Producer (IPP) model. The solar park will produce 1,000 MW by 2020 and 5,000MW by 2030 with a total investment of AED 50 billion. It will help achieve a reduction of approximately 6.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
