The UAE’s renewable energy capacity is set to increase four-fold to about 9 gigawatts (GW) by the end of 2025 as the UAE starts new projects to diversify its energy mix. New projects such as the 5 GW MBR Solar Park in Dubai, and the 2GW Al Dhafra solar project in Abu Dhabi will play an important role in reaching the sustainabiltiy targets.

The share of renewable energy in the UAE’s overall power generation mix will increase from 7 per cent in 2020 to 21 per cent in 2030, and to 44 per cent by 2050 due to the development of new projects, Rystad Energy's report said.
