DEWA participates in Sharjahs Discovery: Annual Astronomy Event
Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has gotten involved in the Discovery: Annual Astronomy Event arranged by Sharjah Museums, with the involvement of several federal government and private organisations in the UAE, and a host of revered professionals. DEWA showcased its projects and broad experience in clean and eco-friendly energy, and highlighted its most crucial pioneering projects in the power sector.
Throughout the occasion, DEWA showcased its tasks and efforts, with which it aims to achieve the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030, launched by the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, to lower energy demand by 30 % by 2030 and diversify the energy mix to consist of 71 % from gas, 7 % from nuclear energy, 7 % from clean coal, and 15 % from solar power.
As part of the occasion, DEWA likewise offered a discussion on its renewable resource projects, including the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park. The job, which is based on the Independent Power Producer (IPP) design, is among the most significant, strategic jobs in renewable resource, worldwide. The first phase of the project began producing 13 megawatts in October 2013. The storage capacity of the second phase will be 200 megawatts by 2017. The park will raise the share of solar energy in Dubai, with the production storage capacity set to be 3,000 megawatts in 2030, when all phases have been finished.
DEWA officials also offered visitors to the exhibition the current updates about DEWA's initiatives to motivate using clean energy in Dubai. These initiatives consist of:
Shams Dubai encourages structure owners to install solar PV panels to create electrical power, to promote the use of clean and renewable resource sources.
Smart Applications and Meters improves response times, accelerate connections, provides instantaneous re-connection of electrical power, and rationalizes its use through smart meters to boost the happiness and wellness of residents and homeowners, and to support resources sustainability.
Environment-friendly Charger develops the facilities for electrical car charging stations. DEWA has actually already finished its first stage and developed 16 Green Charger stations, and will set up an additional 84 by the end of 2015, for an overall of 100 by the end of the year.
The exhibit provided an interactive environment, including a telescope gallery, the very first mobile astronomy observatory in the Arab region, ancient astronomical manuscripts, a maritime navigation exhibit, and numerous workshops and clinical lectures.
