During the meeting, Eng. Sharif Al Olama, Undersecretary of Energy and Petroleum Affairs at MoEI, emphasized that the UAE’s involvement reflects its dedication to multilateral cooperation as a crucial tool for addressing energy security challenges and creating a more sustainable future.

By fostering stronger cooperation between regulators and the industry, the UAE is poised to surpass its renewable energy goals, reinforcing its leadership in the global energy transition.
