Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) continues to bolster Dubai's status as a global leader in clean energy and green economy by partnering with major international companies to enhance the efficiency of electricity and water production and integrate the latest technologies across all its facilities and projects.

DEWA CEO Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer recently met with a high-level delegation from China's Power China to explore cooperation opportunities in various energy and water sectors. This initiative aligns with DEWA's efforts to achieve the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Carbon Neutrality Strategy 2050, aiming for 100% clean energy production capacity by 2050, according to data from the Specialized Energy Platform.

Currently, clean energy accounts for about 14% of Dubai's total electricity production capacity, with DEWA targeting an increase to 25% by 2030. The Power China delegation, led by Vice President and President of the Middle East and North Africa region Peng Gang, and other senior officials, discussed potential collaborations in renewable energy projects, smart grid solutions, water infrastructure development, and participation in research and development initiatives.

Both parties expressed a strong interest in strategic cooperation for future joint projects. The delegation from Power China, experienced in clean energy, water infrastructure, and sustainable development, affirmed its commitment to collaborating with DEWA to explore new projects and enhance knowledge exchange in the energy and water sectors. DEWA's commitment to sustainability and innovation is demonstrated through its ongoing projects, including the fourth phase of the Mohammed bin Rashid Solar Park and the development of desalination plants using advanced hybrid systems.
