This Incredible New Project Will Make Dubai A GLOBAL Centre For Clean Energy
#Dubai 200 is trending on Twitter tonight and with good reason.
Why is 200 important? Because the city has just committed to reducing Carbon emissions by 214,000 tonnes annually with the help of the AED 1.5 billion Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum solar plant, the second phase of which was launched today.
HH Sheikh Mohammed, Vice President of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai is the driving force behind the project that aims to transform Dubai into a global centre for clean energy. HH was in attendance today and was accompanied by HH Sheikh Hamdan, Crown Prince of Dubai.
