Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, managing director and CEO of Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa), on Monday inaugurated the second Global Solar Leader's Summit at the Dubai World Trade Centre.
The summit highlighted the latest techniques in solar energy and was attended by Dr Matar Al Neyadi, Undersecretary of the UAE Ministry of Energy, Waleed Salman, executive vice-president of strategy and business development at Dewa, Marwan Bin Haider, executive vice-president of innovation and the future at Dewa, Khawla Al Mehairi, vice-president of marketing and corporate communications at Dewa, and 300 leaders and decision makers in renewable energy from around the world.
Al Tayer highlighted Dewa's efforts to diversify its energy resources over the past four years, the Shams Dubai initiative and efforts to transform the emirate into an international hub for clean energy.
"Dubai hosting this summit is very significant as the UAE, and especially Dubai, is already leading the way in its efforts to transform into a green knowledge-based economy, while diversifying the structure of our economy to achieve sustainable development based on knowledge, innovation and sustainable green growth. This is achieved by launching initiatives in renewable energy, solar power and smart grids, while establishing long-term strategies to increase the percentage of clean energy in the energy mix, limit carbon emissions and reduce the carbon footprint of the emirate. Dubai has made real progress with this over the last few years, as a major factor to contribute to the use of solar power regionally and internationally," said Al Tayer.
"Dubai's energy sector is developing in accordance with the vision of His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai. This supports the UAE Vision 2021 and the Dubai Plan 2021 to make Dubai a smart, integrated and connected city that is sustainable with its resources, while improving living standards to meet the future ambitions of the emirate," added Al Tayer.
