$15bn spend declared at WFES

More than $15 billion worth of projects and funding were announced at the World Future Energy Summit (WFES) and its co-located events, the International Water Summit and EcoWaste Exhibition, which took place during Abu Dhabi Sustainability Week 2018 last week, hosted by Masdar.

The deals, which combined a number of local, regional and international agreements, strengthen the UAE’s position for advancing renewable energy and clean technology.

With WFES entering its 11th year, the event established a new direction for the energy ecosystem, bringing together global innovators, industry leaders and policymakers to shape the transformation of the renewables industry in the region and the world over.
