DEWA INVESTS $22 BLN

DEWA INVESTS $22 BLN

AOGThe Dubai Electricity & Water Authority (DEWA) is to invest around $22bn on new energy projects across the next five years, with the renewables sector accounting for an increasing share of electricity generation, according to CEO Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer.

Last week, DEWA closed a deal for an 815 megawatt gas turbine project with German conglomerate Siemens and its Egyptian partner Elsewedy Electric.

The firm is also constructing the world's biggest solar energy park as it looks to scale back its reliance on natural gas as its main source of energy for electricity. Al Tayer claimed "Our strategy is 75% by 2050 will be renewable," he said. "By 2020 we will achieve more than our target. Our target is 7% but I think we will achieve 8 to 9%."

DEWA is also building the region's first hydroelectric pumped storage plant in the Hatta area with a capacity of 250 megawatts.

UAE IS BETTER FOR IMF

The economy is weathering the post-2014 oil shock well. The key policy goal is to foster economic adjustment to the new oil market realities. To foster the adjustment, especially given downside risks, the momentum in fiscal reforms needs to be sustained and coordinated with structural reforms. To ensure credibility, fiscal adjustment should be accompanied by strengthening the medium-term policy framework and improving transparency. Ongoing initiatives to upgrade the supervisory and regulatory framework for the financial sector are welcome and need to continue. Focused, multi-pronged initiatives to raise productivity and diversify the economy would improve medium-term economic prospects. Amid ongoing economic adjustment, continued improvements in statistics are critical for enhancing policy analysis and decision-making.
