“DEWA” showcases its innovative projects for “Dubai’s green future”

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) announced yesterday that, as part of its participation as the “Efficiency Partner” of the World Future Energy Summit 2025, it will review its most prominent projects and innovative initiatives in the field of sustainability, clean and renewable energy.

She stated, in a statement, that visitors to the summit, hosted by Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (Masdar) from January 14 to 16 next at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center, can learn about a group of the Authority’s most prominent projects and the progress it has made in various fields of innovation, research and development, and smart technologies. In addition to its pioneering efforts to lay the foundations for a green future and support sustainable development.

The Authority’s platform displays a model of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Complex, the largest solar energy complex in one location in the world, according to the Independent Energy Producer System. Its production capacity will reach more than 5,000 megawatts by 2030, with total investments exceeding 50 billion dirhams, amounting to The current production capacity of the complex is 2860 megawatts using the latest solar photovoltaic and concentrated solar energy technologies, and the production capacity of projects under implementation is 1800 megawatts, and by In 2030, about 27% of the total energy production capacity in Dubai will come from clean and renewable energy sources.

The Authority also showcases the Sustainability and Innovation Center at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Energy Park, as it provides the center’s visitors with a unique experience to explore the latest innovations in the field of sustainability and clean energy technologies. Using “Metaverse” technology, the center allows visitors to experience a unique experience that takes them on a virtual journey in various… around the complex.

Among the Authority’s projects that it will review during the summit is the Research and Development Center, which contributes to consolidating Dubai’s position as a global center for research and development in the field of solar energy, smart grids, energy efficiency, and capacity building in these sectors.

The Authority is also reviewing the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority’s Space Programme, “SpaceD,” which contributes to raising the level of development, maintenance, and planning of electricity networks, in addition to improving the efficiency of the Authority’s production, transportation, and distribution sectors. As part of the program, the Authority launched two nanosatellites, “DewaSat-1” in January 2022, and “DewaSat-2” in April 2023. The Authority is the first service organization in the world to use nanosatellites to improve its operations.

Among the initiatives that the Authority will review is the “Green Charger” initiative for electric vehicles in 2014, to enhance Dubai’s ambition to become the smartest and happiest city in the world, and to support green mobility. The number of “Green Charger” stations has reached more than 400 charging stations throughout Dubai, with a capacity of up to 740 charging points, as most charging stations can charge two vehicles at the same time.

The Authority also highlights the characteristics and features of the smart grid developed by the Authority, which helps enhance the efficiency of energy transmission and distribution, reduce losses, and improve electrical load management.
