Dubai Supreme Council of Energy reviews 2025 clean energy progress and performance outcomes

HH Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman of the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy, chaired the 92nd meeting of the council, held at the Mandarin Oriental Jumeirah Hotel, in the presence of HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, Vice Chairman of the council.

The meeting was also attended by HE Ahmed Buti Al Muhairbi, Secretary General of the council, and council members HE Marwan bin Ghalita, Director General of Dubai Municipality; HE Abdulla bin Kalban, Managing Director of Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA); HE Hussain Lootah, CEO of Emirates National Oil Company (ENOC); Juan-Pablo Freile, General Manager of Dubai Petroleum and Dubai Supply Authority (DUSUP); and Muna Alosaimi, CEO of the Strategy and Corporate Governance Sector at the Dubai Roads and Transport Authority (RTA).

During the meeting, the council reviewed the performance of programmes and projects completed in 2025, in line with the approved framework supporting clean energy initiatives and optimised electricity and water consumption. Performance outcomes were assessed to further strengthen the road map supporting Dubai’s objectives of building a sustainable economy and smart infrastructure.

The council also discussed the operational performance of the Waste-to-Energy Centre in Warsan, where more than 4.5 million tonnes of waste have been processed, with 62% diverted from landfill, in line with Dubai’s goal of eliminating landfill sites by 2041. The second phase to expand the plant’s waste processing capacity will be launched later this year to further increase waste conversion and reuse for energy generation.

“In line with the vision and directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, the Dubai Supreme Council of Energy continues to consolidate Dubai’s position as a leading global model for sustainability and clean energy. During the meeting, we reviewed several strategic themes related to accelerating carbon emission reduction and enhancing the efficiency of the emirate’s energy sector. The council assesses the annual performance of programmes and projects and introduces new elements to ensure continuous development, while documenting implementation phases in the coming years. Our governance framework provides advanced mechanisms to achieve strategic clean energy objectives, manage resources, promote green mobility and reduce carbon emissions,” said Al Tayer.

Al Muhairbi said: “We continue to deploy the latest technologies to enhance waste treatment and reuse, within a comprehensive strategy based on circular economy principles and private sector participation in implementing government projects.”
