UAE Water and Electricity Targets 45% Emission Reduction
Emirates Water and Electricity Company is implementing a national plan to achieve sustainability in the water and electricity sectors, aiming to reduce carbon emissions by 45% by 2035, from approximately 42 million tons in 2019 to around 23 million tons. The company plans to increase solar energy capacity to 14 gigawatts by 2030 and 35 gigawatts by 2035, while also enhancing energy storage and expanding seawater desalination projects using reverse osmosis, which is expected to supply more than 95% of the country's water needs by 2035. These initiatives support the UAE’s goals to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 and reduce reliance on thermal power generation, despite an anticipated 70% increase in electricity demand between 2026 and 2033.
