Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has announced that the MENA Solar Conference (MENA-SC) which is scheduled to be organised from November 15 to 18, would discuss six innovative research areas, namely, unconventional and new concepts for future technologies, silicon photovoltaic materials and devices, perovskite and organic materials, PV module and system reliability in MENA region, solar resource for PV & forecasting and power electronics & grid integration.
The four-day scientific and technical conference at the Dubai World Trade Centre, will discuss various scientific research in the solar energy sector that will accelerate the transition towards renewable and clean energy.
Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD & CEO of DEWA, said that organising the first MENA-SC during the Year of Sustainability in the UAE, during which the country is hosting the COP28 by UNFCCC in Dubai Expo City, is part of DEWA’s efforts to consolidate Dubai’s global position in renewable and clean energy. It also creates additional momentum for the renewable and clean energy sector in the MENA region, supporting DEWA’s efforts in innovation, research, and development in this sector.
This is in line with the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Carbon Emissions Strategy 2050 to provide 100 percent of Dubai’s total power production capacity from clean energy sources by 2050.
Waleed Bin Salman, Executive Vice President of Business Development and Excellence at DEWA, explained that the MENA-SC is a significant opportunity for specialists, researchers and those working in the solar power sector. It is the first scientific and technical conference of its kind in the region that specialises in photovoltaic systems.
