DUBAI, June 19, 2017

The UAE’s new energy strategy is set to save up to Dh700 billion ($190 billion) by 2050, said a senior government official.

Suhail bin Mohammed Faraj Faris Al Mazrouei, Minister of Energy made the statements in an inaugural word published as part of the ministry's Energy 2017 Report on the best practices of the UAE and all energy-related agencies, reported WAM, the Emirates official news agency.
