Dewa + China want more energy cooperation

Dewa explores Chinese support on energy: Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) CEO Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer and Vice Consul General of China in Dubai Liu Zhengjie met to discuss potential cooperation in energy and infrastructure, Wam reports. The two parties explored potential avenues for the authority and a number of unnamed Chinese companies to collaborate in several fields including the production, transport, and distribution of energy.

Expanding on existing ties: Several Chinese companies are cooperating with Dewa in its wide-scale projects including the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park — the world’s largest single-site solar park using the IPP model. The solar park will have a production capacity of 5 GW by 2030 and will help slash 6.5 mn tons of carbon emissions annually upon completion. Production capacity at the park hit over 2 GW last December, accounting for c. 14% as a share of Dubai’s total electrical energy production.
