Clean Energy in Dubai
Dubai Demand Side Management Strategy 2050
Dubai Demand Side Management (DSM) Strategy 2050 aims to establish Dubai as a global benchmark for energy efficiency by doubling efficiency improvements to achieve savings of at least 30% by 2030 and 50% by 2050 compared to business as usual in electricity, water and transport fuel consumption. The DSM Strategy aligns with the UAE Net Zero Strategy 2050, the UAE National Energy and Water Demand Side Management Programme 2050, and the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050.
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park
The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is the largest single-site solar park in the world based on the Independent Power Producer (IPP) model. It has a planned production capacity of 5,000 MW by 2030, with investments totaling AED 50 billion. When completed, it will save over 6.5 million tons of carbon emissions annually.
Shams Dubai
Shams Dubai initiative encourages house and building owners to install Photovoltaic (PV) panels to generate electricity, and connect them to DEWA’s grid. The electricity is used on site and the surplus is exported to DEWA’s network.
Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant
The Barakah Nuclear Energy Plant is a national project that produces 40 TWh annually which is equivalent to around 25% of the UAE’s electricity needs. The Barakah Plant is the UAE’s largest source of electricity, with every megawatt generated being produced carbon-free.
The Barakah Plant is an important part of the UAE’s efforts to diversify its energy sources, while reducing the nation’s carbon footprint. The plant prevents up to 22.4 million tons of carbon emissions every year
