The UAE, which is greening its power mix by adding electricity sourced from solar and nuclear to its grid, is also exploring other sustainable forms of fuels such as energy from waste and hydrogen. The amount of power generated by renewable energy in the UAE will increase from 7 per cent in 2020 to 21 per cent in 2030, and to 44 per cent by 2050 as more new projects come online, according to Rystad Energy. The electricity generated from the waste-to-energy power plant will be supplied directly to the grid operated by Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority. It will provide enough power for around 28,000 homes, Schneider Electric said in a statement.
