DEWA's pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai in the Sustainability District will allow visitors to enjoy a unique experience and learn about DEWA's key projects, smart services, and innovative initiatives especially in clean and renewable energy.
Visitors will also learn about DEWA's efforts to use Fourth Industrial Revolution applications to disrupt utilities and become the world's first digital utility.
HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, said that DEWA's pavilion design is contemporary to reflect DEWA's role as the Official Sustainable Energy Partner of Expo 2020 Dubai and its efforts to reshape the concept of a utility and make Dubai the smartest and happiest city in the world.
Visitors can learn about DEWA's major projects and pioneering initiatives, including the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, the largest single-site solar park in the world with a planned capacity of 5,000 megawatts (MW) in 2030 and the Green Hydrogen project, the first of its kind in the MENA region to produce solar-powered hydrogen.
DEWA will also showcase Digital DEWA, its digital arm, which aims to make DEWA the world's first digital utility to use autonomous systems for renewable energy and storage, while expanding the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital services.
Other initiatives include the Solar Decathlon Middle East (SDME) organised by DEWA under the patronage of HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of the Executive Council as part of a partnership between DEWA and the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy (DSCE) and the US Department of Energy.
