The UAE's first commercial wind farm at Sir Bani Yas Island (30 MW) began feeding power to the grid in late 2024. While wind resources are modest compared to solar, coastal and offshore wind assessments are underway for sites in the Arabian Gulf with capacity factors. The National Energy Strategy 2050, updated following COP28 in late 2023, targets a clean energy share of 44% of the total power generation mix by 2050, with interim milestones demanding significant near-term capacity additions. Masdar, Abu Dhabi's clean energy company, operates as the primary. The UAE Wind Program is a 103. This initiative aims to diversify the UAE's energy mix and advance its transition to a cleaner energy. Energy storage is becoming more important because solar power generation changes throughout the day, while electricity demand remains high, especially during peak. The UAE's renewable energy strategy focuses on achieving net-zero emissions, supporting sustainable economic growth, and creating new job opportunities in green industries. Policy support ensures predictable investment conditions and promotes rapid project deployment. The work presented in this deliverable represents Guidehouse's professional judgement based. Vast arrays of photovoltaic (PV) panels glitter in the sun, with solar energy accounting for a commanding 92% of its renewable generation in 2023.
