Dubai Electricity and Water Authority’s (DEWA) pumped-storage hydroelectric power plant in Hatta will begin supplying clean energy to Dubai by April 2025, according to DEWA’s MD & CEO, Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer. The AED 1.421 billion project, now 96.82 percent complete, commenced operational testing in January 2025.

A recent report has highlighted the UAE’s leadership in the regional solar energy sector, driven by key initiatives like the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, aiming for 75% clean energy by 2050, and Abu Dhabi Vision 2030, which targets 30% renewable energy in the next five years. The “Solar Outlook Report 2025,” launched by the Middle East Solar Industry Association (MESIA) at the World Future Energy Summit 2025 in Abu Dhabi, explores the rapid expansion of solar energy in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, with the UAE playing a significant role in this shift.

Suhail bin Mohammed Al Mazrouei, Minister of Energy and Infrastructure, reported significant progress in the UAE’s clean energy sector, noting that clean energy now comprises 27.83 percent of the energy mix, aiming for 32 percent by 2030.
