About the Energy Partnership

The Emirati-German Energy Partnership was founded in January 2017 between the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Action (BMWK) and the Ministry of Energy and Infrastructure (MOEI) of the UAE. The purpose of the Energy Partnership is facilitating exchange between high-ranking politicians and experts from the private and public sector. Climate change and the energy transition are in focus of Energy Partnership. Renewable energy has been the priority topic since the establishment of the Energy Partnership complemented by hydrogen since 2020. Additional focus topics of the Energy Partnership are electricity market design, system integration of renewable energy and energy efficiency. Both countries collaborate for the United Nations Climate Change conferences in Egypt in 2022 (COP27) and in the UAE in 2023 (COP28).

Guidehouse and the German Emirati Joint Council for Industry and Commerce (AHK) are commissioned to implement the Energy Partnership between the governments of both countries.
