Dubai Airports, in partnership with Etihad Clean Energy Development Company, is set to install the world’s largest rooftop solar panel system across Dubai International (DXB) and Dubai World Central (DWC). The 39MWp project will be fully operational by 2026, generating 60,346MWh annually and offsetting 23,000 tonnes of CO2—equivalent to taking 5,000 cars off the road.
The initiative, unveiled at the World Green Economy Summit, aligns with Dubai’s goal of sourcing 25% of its energy from clean sources by 2030. This solar energy project will supply 6.5% of DXB’s power needs and 20% of DWC’s, driving sustainability in airport operations.
This project is part of Dubai Airports' broader efforts to reduce energy consumption, lower emissions, and foster collaboration within the aviation sector for a greener future.
