3. The project was completed over 9 months from April 2015 to December 2015.
The document provides an overview of the UAE State of Energy Report 2016. It discusses several initiatives to promote renewable energy and energy efficiency in Dubai, including allowing small-scale solar panel installations, implementing smart meters, and establishing electric vehicle charging stations. It also describes the Shams 1 concentrated solar power plant in Abu Dhabi, the largest CSP plant in the Middle East with a 100 MW capacity. The report highlights the UAE's efforts to diversify its energy mix and reduce consumption through various programs and strategies.
The Dubai Supreme Council of Energy evaluated progress on retrofitting existing buildings in Dubai to improve energy efficiency. Etihad ESCO was tasked with identifying buildings to set international standards for adopting efficiency measures. The council also reviewed a proposal to license independent companies to generate electricity and desalinate water through public-private partnerships. Additionally, the members discussed promoting the Emirates Energy Award in other countries to raise awareness about conserving resources.
Oman aims to maintain its oil production levels of around 950,000 barrels per day for the next 2-3 years through improved and enhanced oil recovery techniques. The Oman oil minister also expressed support for ending fuel subsidies, which are currently unsustainable, while acknowledging this is a politically sensitive issue. Abu Dhabi has received strong interest from international firms to participate in its largest oilfields under revised terms as it takes full control, and may partner with major Asian energy buyers in addition to continuing with Western oil companies.

Dewa and Stanford University have collaborated on developing an advanced system to forecast photovoltaic production at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai. The new system can reduce forecast errors to less than 10%. It uses technologies like artificial intelligence and sensors to predict factors that affect PV performance. Aldrees Petroleum plans to expand into Egypt by opening 60 new fuel stations in the second half of 2021. Iraq and Total have agreed to work together on four associated gas and solar power projects in Iraq to help it reduce dependence on energy imports from Iran.
The document provides an overview of renewable energy markets and development in several Middle Eastern and North African countries. For Saudi Arabia specifically, it notes that the country has ambitious targets to install 54GW of renewable energy by 2032 in order to reduce domestic oil consumption and free up oil for exports. Saudi Arabia is establishing competitive procurement processes to develop utility-scale renewable energy projects for the first time. However, many questions remain around how the country will implement and regulate its plans to transition to renewable sources of energy.

UAE-based Marsol International and Aubin Group have partnered to provide a pigging solution for non-piggable pipelines, which involves using pipeline preservation fluid to displace oil in pipelines. They successfully tested this on three 48-inch pipelines, saving a client over $3 million. The partnership will now offer this solution in the Middle East, Far East, and Africa.
Iraq's crude oil exports in April averaged 2.5 million bpd, higher than March but still below its 2014 target, due in part to repeated attacks on a northern pipeline. The damaged pipeline could be fixed quickly but security is needed to protect it first.

UAE-based Marsol International and Aubin Group have partnered to provide a pigging solution for non-piggable pipelines, which involves using pipeline preservation fluid to displace oil in pipelines. They successfully tested this on three 48-inch pipelines, saving a client over $3 million. The partnership will now offer this solution in the Middle East, Far East, and Africa.
Iraq's crude oil exports in April averaged 2.5 million bpd, higher than March but still below its 2014 target, due in part to repeated attacks on a northern pipeline. The damaged pipeline could be fixed quickly but security is needed to protect it first.

The Dubai Carbon Centre of Excellence has developed a Sustainability Self-Assessment Tool to help organizations in the UAE benchmark their sustainability performance against global best practices and national sustainability goals. The tool evaluates organizations across categories like governance, energy use, resource efficiency and innovation. It provides a quantitative analysis based on environmental, economic and social pillars and indicators from the Global Reporting Initiative framework. The tool generates visual reports on an organization's sustainability performance and aims to support the UAE's progress on the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The project aims to develop a Green Economy Framework for the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) in Dubai over 8 months. Key stakeholders will be engaged to support RTA's energy and green economy goals. The framework will include deliverables, indicators, and milestones to create a strategic plan for RTA to follow. It will provide guidance on integrating green economy practices authority-wide to meet RTA's sustainability ambitions.
The Green Jobs Programme is a 12-month initiative led by Dubai Carbon Centre of Excellence to create sustainable and diversified green economy in the UAE by focusing on green jobs. The programme consists of three pillars: research and database development, green employment facilitation, and capacity building. It involves conducting research on green jobs sectors, creating a green jobs database, connecting job seekers to industry through platforms and events, and building knowledge through discussions and newsletters. The overall goals are to shed light on green jobs and education for sustainable development and connect relevant stakeholders for green employment opportunities in the UAE.
Dubai Municipality plays a central role in developing Dubai into a livable and sustainable city under the directive of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. As the authority responsible for much of daily life in Dubai, it is committed to fulfilling the 2021 Dubai Plan's goal of creating a smart, sustainable city. Dubai Municipality has found solutions to sustainability challenges like designing public spaces and irrigation, which it will share in a December 2015 report following the Global Reporting Initiative framework. The report will outline Dubai Municipality's contributions to Dubai's economic, environmental and social progress and lay the groundwork for fully compliant future reports.
The document discusses a report called "State of Sustainability: UAE 2016". It was produced by Dubai Carbon in partnership with other UAE organizations to engage and analyze stakeholders on sustainability progress in the UAE. The report complements official UN reporting on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals. It is intended to grow into a platform publishing sustainability solutions and success stories in the UAE and its contributions to achieving the Global Goals in other countries.
This document provides an overview of the State of Green Economy Report 2016. It discusses the report's focus on innovation in green economic development. It also describes the report's role in sharing knowledge and its status as an annual review of the World Green Economy Summit. The document outlines the report's chapters and editorial formats. It previews two sample chapters on clean energy and the road to Paris 2015 climate agreement.

The DSM Strategy is based on
8 programmes including Green

lations, retrofitting of buildings,
district cooling, wastewater reuse
for irrigation, standards and labels
for appliances and equipment,
and lighting systems. The strategy
introduces mechanisms that are
aligned with international best
practices implemented world-
wide. The mechanisms include
capacity-building, promoting
public awareness, adequate
policy and regulatory framework,
information systems, and financ-
ing mechanisms specifically
adapted for Dubai.
The Supreme Council of Energy
has also encouraged the Energy
Services Companies (ESCO)
market in the Emirate to promote
demand reduction. The Council
launched Etihad Energy Service
Company to provide energy
efficiency solutions to imple-
ment demand management and
reduction mechanisms, which
can be achieved in cooperation
with partners through financial,
technical, and performance guar-
antees to further establish Dubai
as a global energy efficiency
hub and create a better business
environment.
in June 2013, the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy announced the Energy Demand Side
Management (DSM) Strategy that complies with the fundamentals of the UAE National
Agenda, including the Green Economy for Sustainable Development initiative and the
UAE Vision 2021. Today, the Supreme Council of Energy is considering the formation of
an agency for energy efficiency to manage energy projects in Dubai.

The UAE’s Oil and Gas in Figures 2013
Source: OPEC Annual Statistical Bulletin 2014
In 2013 approximately 25 per cent of the country’s gross
domestic product was directly based on oil and gas output,
making the export and refinery of hydrocarbon products like
petroleum, crude oil, and natural gas the backbone of the UAE
economy (according to the CIA World Factbook). This rev-
enue continues to fuel aspects of the UAE’s rapid economic
and social development, which started in the 1960s and has
continued at a speed and to an extent that has impressed the
international community and made citizens and residents alike
proud to call the UAE home. The United Nations Human Devel-
opment Index (HDI) ranks the UAE in the very high category.
But this is only one part of the story. As the UAE concluded
celebrations of the 40th anniversary of the federal union of the
seven emirates in 2011, the country’s leaders turned the page
to the next chapter: Vision 2021.
The President of the UAE, His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin
Zayed Al Nahyan, and Vice President and Prime Minister of the
UAE and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin
Rashid Al Maktoum, have outlined and defined the UAE Vision
2021 in order to accelerate development and elevate the UAE
to the international top rankings in the respective categories by
2021, coinciding with the UAE’s celebration of its union’s golden
jubilee. The strategy document sets ambitious and defined per-
formance indicators and targets for the major areas of national
development.
HH Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum specified that
the UAE strives for: “Firstly, ambitious, confident people who
respect and value their heritage; secondly, a strong union with
a common destiny; thirdly, a competitive economy led by UAE
Nationals characterised with innovation and knowledge; and
fourthly, high quality of life endowed with a sustainable
environment”.
The energy sector plays an important
role in shaping the UAE’s internal and
external strategies and policies. Since the
discovery of oil and gas more than half a
century ago, the UAE has become a central
player in the global hydrocarbon energy
market, providing a reliable and stable
supply of energy. Bloomberg cites the
UAE as the fifth-largest oil producer in the
Organization of the Petroleum Exporting
Countries (OPEC), with an oil output
averaging 2.79 million barrels per day (bpd)
in 2013, reaching close to 3 million bpd

HE SAEEd
Al TAyER
Managing Director
& CEO of Dubai
Electricity & Water
Authority
Earlier this year, DEWA pledged to
introduce smart initiatives in three specific
areas in line with Dubai’s evolution to
become a smart city: small-scale use of
solar panels, smart meters and electrical
vehicle charging stations. Can you
elaborate on these smart initiatives? How
can these measures help Dubai transition
into a connected, intuitive and efficient
(smart) city?
DEWA has introduced three initiatives to support the vision
of HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice
President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai,
for Dubai to become the smartest city in the world. These
three initiatives will bring greater utility and awareness to
Dubai’s citizens and residents.
The first initiative will enable residents and property-owners
to generate their own electricity by installing solar panels
within their properties to provide clean, renewable energy
for their homes and businesses with any surplus energy
being exported to DEWA’s power grid.
The second initiative will see the transformation of existing
electricity and water meters into smart meters, which will
provide regular updates for customers on how much they
consume each month. This data will be available through
smart-phone applications to enable customers to make
informed decisions about how they can further reduce their
bills.
The third initiative will see the construction of vehicle-
charging stations for electric vehicles to provide the required
infrastructure to encourage the use of non-polluting vehicles
in Dubai.
These measures will directly contribute towards Dubai’s
transformation to become the smartest city in the world.
DEWA is also contributing to this, with the delivery of smart
services through smartphone and smart tablet applications
that provide customers and residents with access to DEWA’s
services on a 24-hour a day, seven days a week basis.
What support are you providing to
encourage the use of solar panels?
DEWA will enable the connection of distributed solar
panels into the DEWA grid under the Distributed Renewable
Resources Programme. This initiative will encourage
households and building owners to install photovoltaic
solar panels to produce electricity and use it within
their own premises for private consumption, with the
surplus to be exported to DEWA’s grid. The installation
of solar panels will contribute in diversifying Dubai’s
energy sources and supporting the Green Economy and
Sustainable Development initiative announced by HH Sheikh
Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. It also complements
the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030, which aims
to reduce energy demand by 30 per cent by 2030, and to
diversify the energy mix of the Emirate, with 5 per cent
from solar power. The regulatory framework governing the
Distributed Renewable Resources Programme, including
technical standards for the equipment and connection
procedures, are currently being finalised, and this will enable
the first pilot connections over the coming few months.
Customers can express their interest through DEWA’s “One
Window Application”, which will also be used to manage
customer interactions within the programme, once it is fully
implemented.
How do smart meters help
you manage the grid?
DEWA is implementing its smart-grid strategy to create
a network that will manage the development of new
services and energy technologies and enhance network
management, to enable Dubai’s residents to better
control their requirements for energy and water. DEWA
has initiated a five-year plan to replace conventional
mechanical and electromechanical meters with Smart
Meters which will enable DEWA to provide various benefits
and new applications to its customers, including automatic
and detailed readings – both current and historical. The
data obtained through these readings will be available
to customers to monitor actual consumption over a
specific period of time, enabling better understanding and
management of bills. Additionally, such data will help identify
energy-efficiency measures and will enable comparisons
to be made. The Smart Meters will support the installation
of renewable sources of energy in residential, commercial
and industrial sectors, by comparing energy usage between
consumption and generation. DEWA will install 200,000
Smart Meters over the next three years across Dubai, which
will be connected to new advanced computerised systems
and software. Work on the first stage has already started and
is expected to be completed before the close of 2015.

SHAMS 1 CONCENTRATEd
SOlAR pOWER plANT:
pROjECT OVERVIEW
In March 2013, Abu Dhabi’s
future energy company,
Masdar, inaugurated the largest
solar power plant built in the
Middle East. With a capacity
of 100 megawatts (MW) –
enough to power 20,000
homes – Shams 1 is one of the
world’s largest concentrated
solar power (CSP) plants. It
stands as an engineering
feat and makes a significant
contribution in helping the
UAE meet its ambitious energy
diversification goals.
The Shams 1 power plant cost
US $600 million to build over
three years and Masdar owns a
60 per cent stake in the project
with the remaining 40 per cent
shared by Total and Spain’s
Abengoa Solar. The latter is
the world’s largest developer
of CSP and owns almost three
quarters of global capacity.
Shams 1 covers an area of
2.5 square kilometres – the
equivalent of 285 football fields
– and incorporates the latest in
parabolic trough technology.
The power plant displaces
approximately 175,000 tonnes
of carbon dioxide annually.
This is equivalent to planting
1.5 million trees, or removing
15,000 cars from the roads.
The sun’s energy is harvested
across Shams 1 through
258,000 mirrors mounted
on 768 tracking parabolic
trough collectors. These
work to capture sunlight
and concentrate it to heat
synthetic oil, which is then
used to produce steam.
This steam in turn drives an
electricity turbine to generate
power. Besides the energy it
generates from the sun, Shams
1 also relies on a small amount
of natural gas to boost the
temperature of the steam as
it enters the turbine. This has
served to dramatically increase
the turbine’s overall efficiency.
The plant is situated in the
town of Madinat Zayed, 120
kilometres from Abu Dhabi city,
in the Western Region. Situated
on the edge of the Rub' al
FACT BOX
Khali (the Empty Quarter),
the engineering team had to
apply a number of solutions
to ensure the plant’s resilience
in the hot and arid desert
climate. In an effort to reduce
water use, the plant features
a dry-cooling system for the
electricity turbines. Improving
water efficiency is a priority
for the UAE given the scarcity
of fresh water resources in the
global renewable energy
map. Following the plant’s
successful launch in 2013, the
country now ranks third in
the world in terms of installed
CSP capacity, according to a
report by REN21 (Renewable
Policy Network for the 21st
Century). The UAE is third
only to Spain (with 2,300 MW
of CSP) and the United States
(with 882 MW), in terms of
capacity. With global CSP
capacity rising by 36 per
cent in 2013 alone, Masdar’s
decision to invest in the
technology at such a scale is
a timely decision – one which
looks to help Abu Dhabi
secure economic, social, and
environmental benefits for
years to come.
country, and the associated
energy and carbon costs of
desalination. Another locally-
specific feature of Shams 1
deals with the strong desert
winds which bring with
them lots of sand particles.
Grains of sand settling on
the energy-concentrating
mirrors significantly reduce
the mirrors’ ability to collect
and concentrate sunlight,
thus diminishing the plant’s
overall operating efficiency.
A seven metre high wall and
wind break was therefore
built around the entire Shams
1 complex, in order to help
mitigate the impact of the
sand particles.
The Shams 1 project is not
only the first large-scale
renewable energy project in
the UAE, but is also a major
step towards diversifying
the country’s energy mix.
Clean energy investments
such as these are also
building knowledge capital
domestically. The experience
derived from building the
plant has effectively helped
boost Masdar’s expertise and
ability to deliver other CSP
plant projects both in the UAE
and abroad. The construction
phase has also offered
attractive economic benefits
to local businesses which
were able to contribute during
the design and construction
phases of the project.
Besides the benefits to the
local economy, Shams 1
has also put the UAE on the

The energy sector of oil-rich countries in
the Gulf region faces a curious dilemma
that is little discussed. While the use of
oil revenues to finance infrastructure
development is well-accepted, discussions
on the implications of domestic demand are
often limited to industry forums that fail to
generate much public attention.
From a historical perspective, the Gulf region is today
witnessing an energy sector challenge that is unprecedented.
The era of self-sufficiency and energy surplus is giving way to
concerns about rising fuel prices and net imports.
Two factors have brought about this dramatic shift in the long
term outlook for the oil and gas sector. The first is a growing
population that results in steadily increasing demand for
power, fuel and energy resources. The second is the massive
investment in infrastructure development across the region to
drive social growth through job creation and greater economic

One of the central initiatives of
ENOC to promote a sustainable fuel
industry is accelerating the use of
Compressed Natural Gas (CNG).
competitiveness. While new infrastructure is both welcome and
needed, the large number of mega-projects with a combined
US$2.62 trillion in value signifies an increase in the demand for
power, water and fuel.
This is where the region faces its dilemma; utilising more oil
and gas reserves to meet growing domestic energy demand
results in fewer resources available for export, which in turn
reduces foreign exchange reserves and limits the future budget
allocation for infrastructure development.
In addition, changing global energy dynamics and the
development of new technologies, such as the shale gas
revolution in the US, may result in cheaper sources of fuel
increasingly coming on to the market.
For the energy sector in the region, the key to overcoming this
challenge is to focus on two important aspects. The first is to
maximise production and operational efficiency in the energy
sector, and the second is to explore the potential for renewable
sources of energy.
The UAE is a strong advocate of both these strategies, which
is reflected in the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030 by
the Supreme Council of Energy. Dubai’s long-term strategy is
to diversify the energy mix by including sustainable sources
such as solar and clean coal, and to reduce energy and water
demand by 30 per cent through efficiency improvements and
public awareness.
For the automotive industry, this represents a strong
opportunity for a transformational shift to greener, cleaner and
more efficient alternatives. Dubai is leading the way with plans
to install electric vehicle chargers that power vehicles that are
non-polluting and not dependent on traditional fuels.
Such innovative approaches are critical in creating a sustainable
framework for the fuel industry. ENOC has been at the forefront
of strengthening awareness of sustainable energy solutions,
and has introduced several ground-breaking initiatives to help
develop a greener fuel industry. Our emphasis is on ensuring
that every molecule of fuel, wherever possible, is conserved.
One of the central initiatives of ENOC to promote a sustainable
fuel industry is accelerating the use of Compressed Natural
Gas (CNG) as a cleaner and greener fuel for automobiles.
Emirates Authority for Standardisation & Metrology, the UAE’s
sole standardisation body, has officially nominated Emirates
Gas (EMGAS) as the implementing agency for CNG activities
in the UAE.
Already, EMGAS has a CNG mother station located close to its
facilities in Jebel Ali, from where dedicated CNG tankers receive
and distribute the fuel to customers including DP World, Dubai
Police and Dubai Airports.
Three dedicated CNG daughter stations have been installed at
the premises of EMGAS customers for the quick and efficient
distribution of CNG.
EMGAS also owns and operates a CNG mobile filling unit,
which distributes CNG to customers on a demand-driven basis.
Several governmental entities and private businesses are in
discussions with EMGAS to convert their vehicle fleet to CNG.
Popularising the use of CNG helps achieve both demand and
supply side efficiency in addition to curbing greenhouse gas
emissions and particulates that pollute the air.
To promote energy efficiency, ENOC has undertaken other
steps such as the inauguration of the first-of-its-kind ‘green
service station’ in the Middle East. It employs the latest
technology to recover 99 per cent of the vapour from the
dispensers and storage tanks, and has solar powered lampposts
and LED lights with a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours. Innovation
around the provision of green fuel products and services is
another focus area to promote environmental sustainability.
While several Dubai governmental entities have expressed their
support for initiatives such as CNG fuel, greater results can be
achieved with the full support of the wider public and all energy
sector stakeholders.
Working together to create a sustainable and broad energy
framework is central to our mission to achieve the ‘green vision
for sustainable development’ announced by His Highness
Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President
and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai.
For Dubai, going green is a commitment that feeds in to the
city’s ambition to being one of the smartest in the world. The
thought leadership of Dubai in promoting a greener future is
demonstrated in its approach to Expo 2020, which promotes
sustainability as a core theme.
To achieve real results and to fulfil the vision of the leadership,
the true catalyst will be our commitment to innovate and
adapt. This must start at the grassroots level and be integrated
across our entire energy framework.
We need our students, residents and businesses to become
active partners in this journey going forward. Each drop
of oil saved is an asset that we leave behind for our future
generations. Every small step we take is indeed an investment
in our future.

MAIN REPORT
THE UAE’S pATH TO
ClEAN ENERgy
By HE Eng. Waleed Salman
The UAE’s rapid rise to become an international hub for
tourism, trade, and now renewable energy, is nothing if not
a natural progression. What now stand as major cities in the
UAE were powered in the past, and years before the union,
by traditional and sustainable renewable-energy sources.
Barajils, or wind towers, still stand proudly against the UAE’s
double-glazed high-rise buildings as an icon of the region’s
architectural heritage. Centuries ago, these used to channel
the shifting desert winds to cool houses, providing relief in
the harsh summer months. Our ancestors were resilient,
industrious and innovative. Fuelled by our rich heritage, we
continue to forge ahead, adapting to the challenges of the
21st century.
Inspired by the leadership vision towards sustainability, the
UAE is stepping up efforts to improve energy efficiency, while
advancing the role of renewable resources in meeting these
demands.
Despite the critical role of oil and gas for the UAE, the country
has made groundbreaking commitments to alternative
energy, taking major steps to reduce carbon emissions
through large-scale initiatives in both Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Since the establishment of the Federation, the UAE has been a
regional powerhouse in innovative development strategies. By
2020, Abu Dhabi aims to derive 7 per cent of its energy from
renewable sources, while Dubai has set a similar target of 5
per cent by 2030. Overall the UAE will generate 24 per cent
of its energy from clean, low-carbon sources by 2021, the
majority of which will come from nuclear facilities currently
under construction. As the only country in the region to have
implemented renewables on a large scale, supported by a new
regulatory framework, we are ready to lead by example.
Aligning Energy Policies
to the UAE Vision 2021
The President of the UAE, His Highness Shaikh Khalifa bin
Zayed Al Nahyan, and Vice President and Prime Minister of
the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed
bin Rashid Al Maktoum, have outlined the UAE Vision 2021 to
establish our country among the leading nations in the world
in the next seven years.
The selection of Abu Dhabi to host the global headquarters of
the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) reinforces
our position as an emerging hub for renewable energy, and
reaffirms the contribution to the global renewable-energy
industry. The individual emirates are working towards making
the national target of 24 per cent
a reality.
Abu Dhabi – through Masdar – continues to channel
considerable resources to the advancement and adoption of
renewable energy. Along with providing substantial funding to
IRENA and working towards a 7 per cent renewable-energy
target by 2020, the Abu Dhabi Fund for Development has
offered US$50 million in annual loans to finance renewable-
energy projects in developing countries.
In January 2012, the Mohammed Bin Rashid Solar Park Mega
Project was launched – the biggest of its kind in the region
diversifying Dubai’s energy
mix, of which 71 per cent will
come from natural gas, 24 per
cent from nuclear and clean
coal, and 5 per cent from
solar energy.
Vision 2021 is a holistic call
to action for every sector
and industry in the UAE. The
local energy-diversification
strategies overlap with
Vision 2021 in areas related
to energy and sustainability,
such as the sustainable use
of resources, waste to energy
conversion, clean and secure
sources of energy, water
security, and sustainable
transport.
Collaboration
at the Core
The renewable energy sector
is now a trillion-dollar global
industry, and the UAE is on
the fast track to reap the
benefits from investing in
domestic solar infrastructure.
Moving forward, the
responsibility will shift from
legislators, regulators and
with a full capacity of 1,000
MW. In addition to electricity
generation, the park will have:
An advanced innovation
centre
An R&D centre
A solar-testing facility
A specialised academy
In Dubai, the Dubai Integrated
Energy Strategy 2030
(DIES) was announced in
2011 to set the strategic
direction towards securing a
sustainable supply of energy
and enhancing demand
efficiency for all resources
under the visionary leadership
of Sheikh Mohammed bin
Rashid Al Maktoum. The DIES
2030 action plan aims to
reduce energy demand by
30 per cent by 2030 while
public-sector agencies, to
private companies, who
can provide capital and

their guaranteed returns.
This is where public-private
partnerships (PPP) can play a
critical role.
In Abu Dhabi, Shams 1
CSP plant is a crowning
example of a successful
multi-stakeholder venture,
between Mubadala, France’s
Total and Spain’s Abengoa.
The Abu Dhabi Water and
Electricity Authority (Adwea)
utilises this PPP structure for
several of its power projects,
recognising the advantages
of collaboration on utility-
scale developments. Since
its launch, Shams 1 has
been generating enough
electricity to power 20,000
homes, while reducing
carbon by 175,000 tonnes
per annum, according
to Masdar. As a result of
this dedicated effort to
champion solar energy in
he UAE, we now rank
third in the world in CSP
generation (REN21 2014).
