A new report has revealed that the Gulf countries could save up to US$10b in infrastructural investment by 2020, with the use of smart grid. One of the organisations to reflect change and innovation in smart grid in the region is the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA).
DEWA has invested heavily in renewable and clean energy technology and is heading developments such as Shams Dubai, which connects solar power in homes and buildings to DEWA’s grid. The organisation is also involved in smart applications via smart meters and grids, and the green charger to build the infrastructure and electric-vehicle charging stations.
As a whole, the UAE has a strong focus on fostering innovation in the development and use of renewable power. The Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 aims to provide 7% of Dubai’s energy from clean energy sources by 2020, 25% by 2030, and 75% by 2050.
