Emirates pivot to solar energy for its data centers: Emirates Group has partnered with Digital Dewa subsidiary Moro Hub to host data center at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, according to a statement. Under the partnership, Emirates’ data center relocation will be effective mid-2026 and is expected to utilize 3 GW of solar power. The investment figure hasn’t been disclosed.

Details: Moro Hub — the world’s largest solar-powered data center — will offer comprehensive co-location services, including power, cooling, equipment, and rack space. The move will enable Emirates to switch to clean energy in powering its data infrastructure, aligning with the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy, the statement said.

ICYMI- Moro hub currently operates a 100k sqm, 100 MW data center in the solar park, integrating renewable energy with digital solutions to offer advanced solutions in digital transformation, cloud computing, smart cities, IoT, and cybersecurity. The center is the largest single-site solar park globally, and the world’s largest solar-powered data facility.

REMEMBER- Dubai’s Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park is expanding, with its sixth phase adding 1.8 GW about 53% complete, and a seventh phase in the pipeline that would add a round-the-clock mega solar facility with 1.6 GW of solar photovoltaic capacity and 1 GW battery energy storage system (BESS)
