Abu Dhabi / WAM

The Abu Dhabi Department of Energy (DoE), the government entity in charge of ensuring the energy sector’s excellence and sustainability in the emirate and official partner of the Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019, launched the “Sustainable Energy At The Venues” initiative as part of its “Powering the Olympics” campaign.
The campaign seeks to create a solar power plant in Zayed Sports City to provide up to 50% of the energy required to operate the interactive and entertainment platforms set up by the department for the duration of the event.
DoE Chairman, Awaidha Murshed Al Marar, said, “Our initiative to enhance energy efficiency at the Special Olympics World Games Abu Dhabi 2019 is part of our wider campaign as an official partner to support the event, and consequently, bolster the UAE’s status as a prime destination for major global events.”
