Overall, DEWA’s development plan aligns with the region’s vision to transform the city into a green economy’s global hub. In extension, Dubai’s 1,000 EV Charging Stations also forms part of Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050 and Dubai’s Clean Energy Strategy 2050. With the goal to generate 100% of Dubai’s power, both initiatives strive to make great use of clean energy.
