Sheikh Mohammed launched Dubai Clean Energy Strategy. Under this strategy, Dubai aims to produce (100) per cent of its energy requirements from clean sources by 2050. The strategy also aims to make Dubai a global centre of clean energy and green economy. It consists of five main pillars: infrastructure, legislation, funding, building capacities and skills, and environment friendly energy mix.
The infrastructure pillar includes initiatives such as Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, which is the largest generator of solar energy in the world from a single location, with an increased capacity expected to exceed (8060) MW by 2030 and a total investment of approximately AED 50 billion.
The legislation pillar focuses on the establishment of a legislative structure supporting clean energy policies in two phases.
The funding pillar includes the establishment of Dubai Green Fund worth of AED 100 billion which will contribute through its financial resources easy loans for investors in the clean energy sector in the emirate at reduced interest rates.
The fourth pillar aims to build human resources capabilities through global training programmes in the field of clean energy in cooperation with international organisations and institutes such as International Renewable Energy Agency (Irena) as well as international companies and R&D centres.
The fifth pillar aims to achieve an environment‑friendly energy mix. As per updated targets, clean energy is expected to account for about 36 per cent of Dubai’s energy mix by 2030, compared to the earlier 25 per cent target, driven mainly by solar energy expansion. The share of clean energy will continue to increase to 100 per cent of total energy consumption by 2050, positioning Dubai among the cities with the lowest carbon footprints globally.
