The Fifth China-Arab States Expo was officially held in Yinchuan, Ningxia. At the event, Shanghai Electric focused on the concept of smart energy, intelligent manufacturing, and smart city, highlighting its products and solutions in the fields of concentrated solar power, photovoltaics, energy storage, seawater desalination, gas turbines, wind power, distributed energy, hydrogen energy, biomass and waste-to-energy, as well as its strength in project development, operation & maintenance, and financing.

Among them, two concentrated solar power and photovoltaic mega-projects in Dubai from Shanghai Electric Power Generation Engineering Co., Ltd. attracted a great deal of attention.

3060 target

The “3060 target”, which means “reaching peak CO2 emission by 2030” and “achieving carbon neutrality by 2060”, is the first major direction of energy reform proposed by China in 2020.

Shanghai Electric keeps up with the requirements of energy transformation and upgrading under this new trend, and continues to contribute its new energy capabilities to China's energy system as a solution provider for industrial-grade green intelligent systems.

China and the Arab States are natural partners for the Belt and Road initiative, with sustainable development being an important component. In recent years, Arab States have made great progress in the development of photovoltaics, wind power, nuclear power, and other clean energy sectors.

Developing renewable energy

UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Morocco are all representatives of the rapidly developing renewable energy

 Countries like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Morocco are all representatives of the rapidly developing renewable energy market in the MENA region.

Aside from showcasing the city image of Shanghai and the strength of Shanghai Electric at the Expo, Shanghai Electric will also seize the opportunities and continue to invest in the market of these Arab countries in the MENA region.

Together with the Arab world, we look forward to building a clean and beautiful world and bringing the future forward.
