Moro Hub, a subsidiary of Digital DEWA, the digital arm of the Dubai Electricity and Water Authority, has announced a potential collaboration with SAP, a global cloud computing enabler. This partnership aims to bring SAP’s public cloud services to the world’s largest solar-powered Green Data Centre, which is located at the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park in Dubai.
This initiative offers opportunities for both public and private sector organisations in the UAE to reduce their environmental footprint by utilising SAP’s cloud solutions hosted by Moro. The announcement was made during the Dubai Business Forum 2023, organised by Dubai Chambers.
The endeavour is aligned with the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to promote the adoption of sustainable computing technologies in the United Arab Emirates. DEWA Digital’s efforts also support the UAE’s role as the host for the twenty-eighth session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28).
DEWA Digital’s operations are rooted in the Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and the Dubai Net Zero Emissions Strategy 2050, aiming to provide 100% of Dubai’s energy production capacity from clean energy sources by 2050. This initiative will lead the way in adopting sustainable practices and offering an innovative range of sustainable digital solutions. The potential integration of SAP’s public cloud services into Moro Hub’s zero-carbon data centre in Dubai opens doors for public and private sector entities in the UAE to reduce their environmental impact and contribute to a sustainable future.
