DSCE Strategic Direction

The Dubai Supreme Council of Energy has set a dynamic strategic direction to achieve a savings in power & water consumption. A balanced approach is defined to drive feasible renewable energy projects while developing a regulatory framework and adaptation of technologies.

Policies and Governance

  • Manage pricing to influence community consumption behaviour
  • Develop and execute financial mechanisms to drive the DIES 2030
  • Identify and drive policies and regulations

Demand Management

  • Implement demand abatement and energy efficiency measures
  • Evaluate energy consumption and develop intensity mapping
  • Evaluate and introduce abatement technologies for water, power and transportation fuel

Supply Management

  • Secure gas supply through integrated gas strategy
  • Streamline demand growth rate and supply forecasting
  • Diversify fuel mix by adding solar, nuclear and others
