The Decision To GoSolar
The Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050, which was launched by HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, aims to provide 7% of Dubai’s total power output from clean energy by 2020. It further targets a capacity of 42,000MW of clean and renewable energy by 2050.*

Water is the most important resource in the world
Drought and climate change have shrunk water supplies by 20%
By 2025, half of the world’s population will be living in water-stressed areas
Tank cleaning requires 2000 litres on average per tank
1 month consumption = 830,000 litres
With 72% of water being recycled,
we currently save 7.2 m litres of water every year
Other Initiatives
Process automation results in saving paper and man hours. ROI is 6 months
Key Takeaways
Sustainable practices are an intrinsic requirement in today’s businesses.
Renewable energy sources like solar are a viable option due to recent government regulations and the maturing of the industry.
Focusing on core capabilities provides benefit in the long run to all organisations.
Going Green = becoming more efficient.
