DEWA’s September 6 release lists the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park’s current production capacity at 3,860 MW. The utility expects capacity to exceed 8,000 MW by 2030.
The statement accompanied preparations for the Dubai Environment Conference and Exhibition. It also outlined Dubai’s strategy for clean sources to supply all energy production capacity by 2050. Current park capacity, future expansion expectations and the citywide target are distinct measures.
In an IEA scenario, electricity could cost-effectively supply 33 percent of final energy use by 2035; projected import savings are not realized outcomes.
The utility’s long-term plan projects lower emissions despite rising electricity demand; its solar, battery and reverse-osmosis targets are not completed outcomes.
