The Government of Ras Al Khaimah considers energy efficiency and adoption of renewable energy as important drivers for the competitiveness and sustainability of its economy.

The RAK Energy Efficiency and Renewables Strategy 2040 targets 30% electricity savings, 20% water savings and 20% renewable energy in the generation mix by 2040. The Strategy, already well underway through a multitude of programs and initiatives, connects with Federal strategies and supports the UAE’s commitments to climate change mitigation as part of the UNFCCC.

In order to enhance dialogue within the industry and cross-learning opportunities across similar strategies in the region and in the world, Ras Al Khaimah Municipality announces the first RAK Energy Summit, held under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah.

At the Summit, participants will discuss emerging trends in green buildings, retrofit programs, efficient mobility, efficient water use and reuse, solar applications, energy from waste, and many other related topics. Besides presentations and panel discussions, the Summit will hold structured networking sessions and live demonstrations aimed at creating and contributing to the energy efficiency and renewable energy goals of the future.
