Ducab Group to showcase sustainable energy solutions at WETEX 2024

Ducab Group, a major provider of end-to-end solutions and manufacturing in the UAE, will showcase its latest energy-efficient and sustainable innovations for the utilities sector at WETEX 2024.

WETEX 2024, organised by Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA), will be held from October 1-3 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. The event, which focuses on water, energy, and sustainability, will bring together leading local and international companies to highlight the latest technological advancements and trends in renewable energy and environmental sustainability.

Ducab Group will feature its range of specialised cable solutions, which have supported over 30 global renewable energy projects in the last 40 years. A key focus will be Ducab’s High Voltage Unit (Ducab HV), the first in the Middle East to provide high (60-150kV) and extra high voltage (220-500kV) cable solutions. 

Supporting the UAE's renewable energy goals

Since its launch in 2011, Ducab HV has supplied more than 6,758 km of cables to DEWA, playing a crucial role in strengthening Dubai’s power distribution network and aligning with the city’s goal to generate 75% of its power from clean energy sources by 2050.

Additionally, Ducab’s High Voltage facility has been integral in the development of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Solar Park (MBR Solar Park), delivering approximately 1,033 km of high-voltage cables. These contributions are vital for the solar park’s planned expansion to a 5GW capacity by 2030, reinforcing its status as the largest single-site solar park in the world.

"We are thrilled to participate in WETEX 2024, a vital gathering for the global energy sector. Our commitment to sustainability drives our efforts to adopt and implement cutting-edge technologies and digital strategies. This alignment not only supports the UAE's renewable energy ambitions but also resonates with our dedication to the Year of Sustainability,” said Charles Mellagui, CEO of Ducab Cables Business.

“WETEX provides an unparalleled platform for us to engage with industry leaders, discuss new trends, and develop strategies that address environmental challenges effectively. We are eager to share our advancements, reinforce our ongoing partnerships with DEWA, and forge new ones, furthering our role in Dubai's Clean Energy Strategy 2050 and demonstrating our relentless pursuit of sustainability and excellence," he added.
