Dubai’s Electricity and Water Regulatory & Supervisory Bureau accredits four companies

The Regulatory & Supervisory Bureau (RSB), the regulator of Dubai’s electricity and water sector, has issued the accreditation certificates for four companies that will engage in a programme to retrofit existing buildings in Dubai to become energy-efficient. The certification, which supports the Green Economy for Sustainable Development initiative and the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030, is part of the ESCO accreditation scheme. MAF Dalkia, Johnson Controls, EMS, and Al Arsh Facilities Management received their accreditation certificates during a ceremony at the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy’s headquarters in Dubai. “The Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy 2030 aims to reduce energy consumption by 30% by 2030 and to diversify the energy mix in Dubai towards renewable and clean energy sources. To support these goals, we seek to reduce energy consumption and improve reliability, the two main elements that enhance Dubai’s competitiveness and its economic sustainability, make it a world-class model for energy security and efficiency, by investing in renewable and low-carbon energy,” said HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Vice Chairman of the Supreme Council of Energy. “The RSB’s accreditation scheme was launched under the supervision of the Supreme Council of Energy just four months ago. It is very pleasing to see four companies accredited already. We hope that these four companies and other companies will be accredited in the future and play their part in delivering a building-retrofit programme for around 30,000 buildings over the next 16 years,” said HE Ali bin Abdullah Al Owais, Chairman of the RSB. This programme represents a substantial business opportunity for energy service companies. For buildings and tenants it provides the opportunity to significantly reduce their energy bills.
