How no longer why: The UAE’s renewable power adventure

The UAE is often asked why it is on a renewable energy drive, and not how. Perhaps because of preconceptions of The Emirates as an oil-rich land that doesn’t need to diversify its energy production. In this episode, Masdar CEO, Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi and Dr. Nawal Al-Hosany explore how Masdar, the UAE’s leading developer and operator of utility-scale renewable energy projects, is working to help the UAE realise its ambition of achieving a 50% contribution of clean energy to the UAE’s total energy mix by 2050, according to its ambitions under the federal 2050 Energy Strategy. Two of the UAE’s leading names in renewable energy also shed light on how Masdar is working with the international community to enable developing economies to become more renewable and sustainable in their energy production methods.
