DUBAI, October 7, 2015

Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (Dewa) has awarded a major contract to Hadeed Emirates Contracting Company for the construction of the solar innovation centre at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai, UAE.

The solar innovation centre has been designed with sustainability in mind to support the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park, said a statement from Dewa.

The facility, which will act as a museum and exhibition for solar and renewable energy, is set to attract tourists, universities, schools, companies, and partners.

It will be open to solar energy manufacturers and developers as it has a specialised place and permanent convention centre for events and conferences, business meetings, training and meetings on subjects related to solar and renewable energy and other green initiatives. The centre is planned to be completed by the first quarter of 2017.

The landmark design celebrates the unique identity of the energy park, reinforcing the image of green Dubai as a leading example of sustainable development, regionally and internationally, said Dewa in its statement.

The Dubai utility said the building will be a platform to showcase the latest solar and renewable energy technologies.

"It will enable Dewa to demonstrate its own achievements in renewable energy and sustainability, and highlight the green strategies incorporated in the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030 and the vision of a Future Dubai," said Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, the managing director and CEO of Dewa.

"We are committed to implementing the green economy for sustainable development initiative," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
