DEWA has its own stand at the exhibition, where the organisation will review its efforts in research, development and innovation in the field of solar energy, in addition to its major solar projects, notably the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the largest single-site solar park in the world that uses the IPP model. It will produce 1,000 MW by 2020 and 5,000 MW by 2030, with a total investment of AED 50 billion.
Exhibitors and attendees will be able to explore current and future solar projects in the region, the latest market trends, and the legislation, laws and regulations set by the competent authorities.

The Emirate is working to transform Dubai into an international hub for clean energy and green economy, by providing 7% of Dubai’s total power output from clean resources by 2020, 25% by 2030, and 75% by 2050.
When completed, the project will achieve a reduction of approximately 6.5 million tonnes of carbon emissions annually. Dubai is seeking to increase its reliance on solar energy, through the Shams Dubai initiative, to encourage building owners to install PV panels on their rooftops to generate electricity from solar power. 1132 buildings with a total capacity of 49.1MW have already been installed. The number of panels is expected to double in the future to eventually cover all buildings in the Emirate by 2030.
