UAE Achieves Progress in the Field of "Green Energy"

The Regional Director of the Energy Industries Council for the Middle East, Africa, and the Commonwealth of Independent States, Ryan McPherson, indicated that "the United Arab Emirates is making continuous progress in the renewable energy sector, maintaining a leading position among countries in the region in terms of capacity to produce clean and renewable energy." McPherson stated that "according to data from the Energy Industries Council, it is expected that the UAE will add 6.34 gigawatts to its energy capacity from green projects between 2024 and 2030, through 12 planned projects." He explained that "these projects reflect the UAE's commitment to enhancing the sustainability of its energy resources and reducing reliance on fossil fuels," pointing out that "the country has been investing heavily for decades in new technologies and in developing infrastructure to strengthen its leading position in renewable energy, which is part of its vision for a greener and more sustainable future." He noted that the council's regional office in Dubai, since its opening nearly twenty years ago, has significantly contributed to expanding the council's activities in the Middle East and Africa to serve the energy sector and assist companies operating within it in expanding their activities.
