HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum said: “This initiative highlights Emirates' commitment and continued investment in renewable energy solutions as part of our sustainability strategy. By integrating solar energy into the Emirates Engineering Centre, we are significantly reducing our carbon footprint while supporting the UAE's clean energy goals.
With a strong solar resource and low population density, the UAE has taken steps toward becoming a “solar energy exporter” through a variety of efforts. Within the region, UAE is a member of the Gulf Cooperation Council Interconnection Authority, which links the power grids of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, and Kuwait.
Table 1 Details of UAE utility-scale solar projects (can be found in refs [15, 16], where not otherwise noted) The first utility-scale solar power project to be built in the UAE was Shams 1, located in the desert outside Madinat Zayed, in the Western Region of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.
Rather than focusing on incentives and subsidies, the UAE has promoted solar energy development through the involvement of state-connected entities at various stages of the process. Solar energy projects in the UAE have largely been built on a “hybrid” independent power producer (IPP) model.
Here, we summarize the UAE''s approach, its results, and the next steps that the country is taking to further leverage its solar energy resources.
