The first collaborative activity will be to review DP World’s operations at the port of Berbera in Somaliland, focusing on hybrid solar photovoltaic – diesel plants, water treatment and other technical advisory services for power generation. The agreement will also look at increasing energy efficiency across the company’s ports and terminals in the region.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, DP World group chairman and ceo, said: “We look forward to this partnership with a world leader in renewable and clean energy that will help reduce our carbon footprint in the region and to develop long term energy solutions for the communities in which we operate.
“This collaboration is an important step in contributing towards achieving the UAE 2021 vision and implementing the Dubai 2021 plan as well as the Abu Dhabi Economic Vision 2030, which is focused on developing the UAE into a knowledge-led economy.”
Masdar will work with DP World to provide specialist project management services, from concept to implementation, including community projects to support DP World’s operations.
