DEWA signs MoU with Expo 2020 Dubai and Siemens to kick- off region’s first solar-driven hydrogen electrolysis facility

“Siemens has been a strategic partner to DEWA for over 30 years, especially in power generation and related technologies. DEWA launches sustainable initiatives and projects and provides world-class energy infrastructure to meet all the sustainable development needs of the Emirate. DEWA provides water and electricity services at the highest standards of availability, reliability, and efficiency.” added Al Tayer.


“This is truly a landmark project for Dubai and the world, and a great step forward in building a secure supply of sustainable energy for the region’s economic development. Green hydrogen can be a fuel of the future. It will accelerate the adoption of renewable energy in the Middle East through sector coupling, offering new use cases, such as e-Mobility and other environmentally-friendly industries,” said Kaeser.


DEWA has allocated AED 4.26 billion to support the infrastructure for electricity and water at Expo 2020 Dubai and is the official Sustainable Energy Partner.  DEWA’s electricity projects to support Expo 2020 Dubai include three 132/11 kilovolt (kV) substations with 45 kilometres (km) of high-voltage (132kV) cables. The substations are named Sustainability, Mobility and Opportunity after the three subthemes of Expo 2020 Dubai. DEWA’s Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park will provide Expo 2020 Dubai with a dedicated capacity of 464MW of clean energy. DEWA is building first of its kind smart grid in the world to provide the entire value chain of generation, transmission, and distribution systems to Expo.
