> EtihadWE has partnered with the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MoEI)
> on a collaborative initiative aimed at promoting the utilisation of renewable
> energy in the Northern Emirates.
> 
> The Distributed Solar System (DSS) project allows EtihadWE customers to
> generate solar power through rooftop PV systems installed on their properties,
> with the generated power being fed back into the grid, boosting the overall
> supply of renewable energy.
> 
> The project aligns with the wise directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin
> Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin
> Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of
> Dubai, for the sustainable and clean energy development of the UAE’s energy
> sector.
> 
> Launched in July 2023, the project began with a feasibility study to assess
> the financial and technical impacts of connecting DSS to the grid. EtihadWE
> has also developed regulations and technical guidelines for the systems in
> cooperation with MoEI.
> 
> As the certified installer, EtihadWE will provide certified contractors to
> install the solar panels, ensuring compliance with the latest safety
> standards.
> 
> Through this initiative, EtihadWE customers—including residential, industrial,
> and agricultural sectors—will have access to rooftop PV systems, allowing them
> to generate solar energy.
> 
> 
> RENEWABLES IN THE UAE
> 
> The solar power generated will be absorbed back into the grid, contributing to
> the renewable energy supply in the Northern Emirates.
> 
> While consumers will not directly utilise the energy produced by their solar
> panels, they will benefit from reduced energy bills by contributing to the
> renewable energy grid.
> 
> Participants in the initiative will have two meters: one to measure energy
> exported to the grid and another to measure energy imported. Each month, the
> exported vs imported energy will be tracked. If exports exceed imports, the
> excess energy will be credited to the customer’s account for use within the
> same year.
> 
> This initiative is part of a long-term strategy to increase accessibility to
> renewable energy in the Northern Emirates.
> 
> The project aims to create a more sustainable energy supply that reduces the
> carbon footprint and promotes cleaner energy sources.
> 
> His Excellency Eng Sharif Al Olama, Undersecretary for Energy and Petroleum
> Affairs at MoEI, stated, “The DSS project is a major contribution to the UAE’s
> shift to clean energy sources. It reflects our steadfast commitment to
> fast-tracking renewable energy deployment and the country’s sustainable
> development. We are pleased to partner with EtihadWE on this project that will
> pave the way for wider community engagement in building a more sustainable,
> energy-secure future.”
> 
> He added, “The project supports the long-term objectives of the UAE Energy
> Strategy 2050, including increasing the contribution of clean energy
> generation to 32%, ensuring the country is on track to meet its commitment to
> tripling the share of renewable energy by 2030 in line with the UAE Consensus.
> Such projects significantly contribute to enhancing the UAE’s global
> competitiveness rankings.”
> 
> EtihadWE CEO, Yousif Ahmed Al Ali remarked, “This major solar initiative marks
> a significant step in EtihadWE’s progress towards enhancing renewable energy
> in the Northern Emirates. We are embracing new technology to improve our
> operations, offer, products and customer service, whilst making our commitment
> to sustainability clear.”
> 
> “Through this project, we demonstrate our dedication to aligning our strategic
> approach with the UAE government’s directives to transition towards a future
> fuelled by sustainable energy.”
> 
> For businesses, the new project will lower operational costs and contribute to
> the development of more sustainable business models. The roll-out will
> commence with industrial customers in the initial phase.
> 
> EtihadWE also plans to host a series of workshops to educate customers on the
> initiative and its benefits, encouraging the broader adoption of solar energy
> solutions.
