DUBAI // Ways in which to promote clean energy while maintaining sustainable development will be the topic of conversation at a clean energy conference.
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority opened the two-day Dubai Clean Energy Forum at the Address Dubai Mall on Tuesday evening.
The clean energy sector, new technologies, and investment opportunities will all be addressed, but the highlight of the two-day event will be the launch of Dewa’s first sustainability report. The report will assess the authority’s performance on ten criteria, from economic development to environmental protection to community engagement.
“Dewa is making every effort, guided by the wisdom of our leadership, to protect our environment and save our resources by keeping pace with international changes and developments in different environmental fields,” said Saeed Al Tayer, the managing director and CEO at the authority.
“We seek to achieve a host of objectives, at the top of which are protecting the environment and its natural balance through a comprehensive and sustainable development for the benefit of future generations.”
The forum coincided with the start of the second phase of Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park.
