As Organising Partner of the Dubai International Project Management Forum (DIPMF), Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) is highlighting its leading experience in implementing major projects to diversify energy sources. This includes a wide range of clean and renewable technologies and resources, in line with the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050, which aim to provide 100% of the emirate’s energy production capacity from clean sources by 2050.

During its participation, DEWA is showcasing a model of the seventh phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, which it recently tendered. This phase will add 2,000 megawatts (MW) of capacity from photovoltaic solar panels and include a 1,400MW battery energy storage system with a six-hour storage capacity, providing a total storage capacity of 8,400 megawatt-hours. This makes it one of the world’s largest solar-plus-storage projects. The project will be implemented using the independent power producer model.

The project supports DEWA’s ongoing efforts to increase the share of clean energy in Dubai’s energy mix and to raise the solar park’s total production capacity to more than 8,000MW, compared to the original plan of 5,000MW, representing an increase of 60%.

The solar park’s total production capacity has reached 3,860MW, utilising the latest photovoltaic and concentrated solar power technologies. The share of clean energy in Dubai’s energy mix is set to increase to 36% by 2030, compared to 25% in the original plan, reducing more than 8.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually.
