The event will take place at DEWA’s Innovation Centre at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the largest single-site solar park in the world based on the Independent Power Producer (IPP) model, from 18th to 20th  February.

“DEWA supports the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 that aims to diversify the energy mix and provide 75% of Dubai’s total power capacity from clean energy sources by 2050,” said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.
