DUBAI / WAM

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) joined the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) Clean Coal Centre as a sponsor. DEWA will have access to the centre’s expertise, which includes consultancy services, study reports, analysis, workshops, conferences and databases.
Every year, the centre publishes around 15 reports covering various aspects of clean coal technologies and related policies and guidelines. The IEA clean coal centre will also help develop and internationally-promote DEWA’s clean coal power plant at Hassyan.
“DEWA’s clean coal power plant at Hassyan reflects our commitment to achieve the vision of Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, to diversify the energy mix. It also reflects DEWA’s commitment to its goals of energy diversification and sustainability of resources, and achieving the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050. We are glad to join the IEA clean coal centre to exchange expertise and benefit from the significant services the centre offers. This will help us achieve our vision to become a sustainable innovative world-class utility.
The centre will also play a significant role in the move to increase awareness about DEWA’s clean coal plant as the first of its kind in the region,” said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA.
