Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--In a resounding commitment to combat climate change, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) government has unveiled an impressive target of 14.2 gigawatts (GW) of renewable capacity by 2030. The UAE is the host of the upcoming COP28 (United Nations Climate Change Conference or Conference of the Parties) international climate summit in Dubai as the country aims for renewables, including nuclear power, to account for 30% of its energy mix by 2030.
Key players like the Emirates Water and Electricity Company (EWEC) (Abu Dhabi) and the Dubai government are actively pushing for solar energy projects to expand the capacity. EWEC has initiated the development of the 1.5-GW Khazna Solar Power Station in Abu Dhabi. Developers have been invited to express their interest, and after a qualification process, the project aims to adhere to a long-term power purchase agreement.
Solar energy remains a primary focus, with additional contributions from alternative sources like nuclear and waste-to-energy as well as a pumped-storage hydropower project.
