GCC,eurozone cooperation key for renewables

Closer cooperation between GCC nations and the eurozone can take global renewable energy initiatives to the next era of growth, according to Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, vice-chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy and managing director and chief executive officer of the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority. He was addressing delegates at a specialised workshop held in Dubai on “Mediterranean Initiatives on Renewable Energy: Prospects for GCC Countries”. “The Supreme Council of Energy continuously focuses on engaging with energy and renewable energy experts from around the world to identify and promote best practices for a sustainable future for everybody. We strongly believe in the power of dialogue and cooperation to address the sustainability challenges that the world faces today. This workshop serves as a powerful platform to better understand the Mediterranean initiatives on renewable energy, and to explore the potential opportunities of these strategies in the GCC,” said Al Tayer. “ The Supreme Council of Energy is responsible for achieving green growth, which is a core goal for Dubai and also to enhance the position of the emirate as an exemplar in achieving the highest standards in energy-efficiency.” Source: Khaleej Times Online
