Dubai: Dubai Chamber of Commerce, one of the three chambers under Dubai Chambers, recently held a virtual workshop on the D33 Industry Friendly Power Policy in collaboration with Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) and the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET). The session, organized by the chamber's Centre for Responsible Business, brought together 46 representatives from the private sector to discuss the policy's objectives, eligibility criteria, and business benefits.
According to Emirates News Agency, the D33 Industry Friendly Power Policy is designed to support sustainability goals and promote the transition to a green economy in Dubai, aligning with the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33). The policy allows manufacturers, data centers, and agri-tech entities to install solar energy systems for internal use, helping them generate the power needed to meet their demands and reduce energy costs.
The initiative aims to increase the share of clean energy in Dubai's energy mix. The workshop also addressed the technical requirements and eligibility criteria for benefiting from the policy, which supports the industrial sector by reducing business costs, achieving clean energy targets, and accelerating decarbonization efforts to reach carbon neutrality in Dubai.
