Since 2008, POWERCHINA has been operating in the UAE, establishing its regional headquarters in Dubai in 2016 to oversee the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Specializing in water, energy, and urban development, POWERCHINA has become MENA's largest contractor for power station and seawater desalination engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC). Notably, it completed six projects in the UAE, including the Etihad Railway Project 2F2 Freight Facilities. Currently, two projects are underway, including the Taweelah desalination project in Abu Dhabi, the world's largest with a daily water production of 900,000 cubic meters.

Climate change is a major challenge and every fraction of a degree of warming matters. As UN Secretary-General António Guterres said, "The good news is that the lifeline is right in front of us." He highlighted the urgency of utilizing renewable energy technologies like wind and solar power, often more cost-effective than fossil fuels. The UAE government plans to increase investment in renewable energy and invest at least 600 billion dirhams (approx. US$163.5 billion) in the field by 2050. According to its 2050 energy strategy, the UAE will achieve 44% of its energy supply from renewable energy by 2050.

POWERCHINA is committed to continuing to promote sustainable energy solutions and contribute to global climate action and clean energy development that benefit more people in the UAE.
