Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has reinforced its commitment to clean energy and international collaboration through a high-level roadshow in China aimed at accelerating progress on Dubai’s clean energy goals.
Led by HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA, the delegation engaged with leading Chinese companies and research centers in renewable energy and energy storage. The roadshow supports the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net-Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050, both of which seek to position Dubai as a global hub for sustainability and green innovation.
The delegation included senior DEWA officials Waleed bin Salman and Ghanim Alqassim. Their itinerary featured visits to companies including Sungrow, CRRC, CATL, Tesla, SPIC and Huawei to explore cutting-edge advancements in solar and storage technologies.
A key highlight was a forum hosted by DEWA in Shanghai, where the authority presented updates on the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park — the world’s largest single-site solar park — and unveiled the road map for its ambitious seventh phase. The session included a Q&A with clean energy developers, reflecting DEWA’s transparent approach to international partnerships.
The upcoming seventh phase of the solar park, developed under the independent power producer model, has drawn interest from 47 global companies. Set to deliver up to 2,000 megawatts and feature 1,000MW of battery storage over six hours, it will rank among the largest solar-plus-storage projects worldwide. Commissioning is expected between 2027 and 2029.
The China roadshow follows a similar event held in Dubai in April, reinforcing DEWA’s strategy of fostering global collaboration to drive sustainable energy innovation.
