The National Water and Energy Demand Management Programme targets 40 per cent efficiency of the three most energy-consuming sectors in the UAE: transport, industry and construction.
The programme includes three main pillars:
- Energy;
- Water; and
- Consumption rationalisation.
Several initiatives will be launched to reduce energy consumption and realise the following targets by 2050:
- Reduce energy demand by 40 per cent;
- Increase the renewable energy's contribution to the energy mix to 50 per cent;
- Expand water re-use by 95 per cent.
