Dewa strengthens cooperation with the US energy companies
The visit involved a detailed inspection of these solar energy sites, which integrate photovoltaic solar panels with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). The delegation aimed to gain insights into global best practices and expertise in this field to support the establishment of similar projects in Dubai.
Dewa is currently generating clean energy through various technologies, including photovoltaic solar panels and Concentrated Solar Power (CSP) technologies, featuring a central tower unit and three parabolic trough units. These technologies enable large-scale, continuous electricity generation around the clock.
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer said: “We are pleased to strengthen strategic and constructive cooperation with US energy companies, in line with the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum,
Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to benefit from technologies, enhance performance, and improve the quality of life. This cooperation supports the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050, aiming for 100% clean energy production capacity by 2050.
Dewa translates the ambitious visions and development boom witnessed by Dubai in all fields into giant projects and promising opportunities, especially in the fields of energy and water. One of the most prominent of these projects is the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the largest single-site solar park in the world, with a production capacity of more than 5,000 megawatts by 2030.”
He added: “We are committed to exchanging best practices and expertise, and advancing new technologies and solutions that enhance efficiency and sustainability in the electricity sector, reducing carbon emissions in the process of electricity generation.”
Korean energy companies: Officials from several Korean energy companies learnt recently about Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa)’s experience in the clean and renewable energy sector, as well as the latest technologies and innovations developed by Dewa.
This took place during a visit by a high-level delegation, led by Sung Soo Kim Su, Senior Vice President of the Global Sae-A Group, to Dewa’s Sustainability and Innovation Centre and the Research and Development (R&D) Centre at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the world’s largest single-site solar park using the Independent Power Producer (IPP) model, with a planned production capacity of over 5,000 megawatts by 2030.
During the tour, officials from the R&D Centre briefed the delegation on DEWA’s Green Hydrogen project, the first of its kind in the Middle East and North Africa to produce hydrogen using solar power.
